“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury.

Heat oil in a saucepan. Add onion, carrot, bell pepper and ginger and
stir-fry 3 minutes. Add Five Spice Powder and remove from heat. Drain
pineapple slices, reserving juice. Add enough water to make 2/3 cup

pineapple slices for another use.
In a bowl, mix together sugar, soy sauce, sherry, vinegar, catsup and
pineapple juice. Add pineapple juice mixture and pineapple pieces to
vegetables. Blend cornstarch smoothly with a little stock, then add
remaining stock. Add stock to vegetable mixture and bring to a boil,
stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes, stirring
constantly. Garnish with pineapple leaves, if desired.
