MALAYSIAN STIR-FRY
This recipe is from one of my male students who is from Malaysia. He has changed it some to fit what he can buy fresh here in California. Great use of leftover pork. I've eaten it...it's hot but mellowed by the fruit.

POODLE DOODLE (MALAYSIAN NOODLE STIR-FRY)
My brother lived with us many years ago. He was a fussy eater, but was trying new things at last. One night when I was making this dish he tried a piece of lap cheong & declared it tasted like a poodle's .... well, you get the drift. I started making this with a Kwan Du recipe, but don't think I ever really followed the recipe very closely. We love lots of vegies in our stirfries - feel free to use your favourites. Reheats well in the wok or microwave.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry cooks evenly.
- Use a hot wok or large skillet: A hot wok or large skillet will help to sear the meat and vegetables quickly, giving them a nice charred flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry in small batches: Stir-frying in small batches will help to prevent the ingredients from becoming soggy.
- Use a high-quality cooking oil: A high-quality cooking oil, such as grapeseed oil or canola oil, will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the wok or skillet.
- Season the ingredients well: Season the ingredients with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve the鮮 flavor and texture of the ingredients.
