Humba with pineapple

Again, another successful and tasteful recipe experiment of mine. It's almost weekend, so we're almost out of stock, no potatoes, no vegies, and we still haven't bought our groceries. What's left in the fridge is just one pack of pork meat. Luckily, I also have left over a little pineapple chunks from cooking another meal with pineapples the other day. As I was already hungry and very lazy to cook, I thought of how to cook what i have available, the quick and easy way.

Here's how:
Boil the sliced pork in 1 cup water, 4tbsp kikkoman soy sauce, 5 tbsp vinegar with 2 cloves crushed garlic. Add pineapple chunks when meat is tender. Add also 1/4 cup pineapple juice mixed with 1/4 tsp flour or cornstarch and simmer for a minute and it's already done. Quick, easy and yummy.
