Sweet and Sour Soybeans
     
2 tbsp oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger (optional)
1/4 cup chopped red or green pepper
1/2 cup diced carrot
3/4 cup fresh or drained canned pineapple
2 1/2 cups cooked soy beans
salt
pepper

1 1/2 tsp cornflour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp dry sherry (optional)
1/2 cup white wine vinegar

In a large saucepan, heat the oil and saute the onion, garlic,
ginger, pepper and carrot. Stir-fry for one minute. The vegetables
should still be crisp. Add the pineapple and soy beans, and cook
until warmed through, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and keep warm.

In a small saucepan, combine the cornflour, sugar, water, soy sauce,
sherry and vinegar and bring the mixture slowly to the boil over
a low heat, stirring continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens.
Do not overcook.

Pour the sauce over the warm soybean mixture. Serve over couscous,
millet or brown rice.
