  1. Heat a large nonstick wok or skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and pork; stir-fry until the pork is no longer pink, 1-2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
  2. Add the bell pepper; stir-fry 2-3 minutes. Add the scallions; stir-fry for 30 seconds, then add pineapple and stir-fry 30 seconds longer. Add the tomato, jalapeno pepper, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. Return the pork to the wok and stir-fry 1-2 minutes longer. Serve, sprinkled with the cilantro.
WW POINTS VALUE PER SERVING: 6

Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. I was craving pork and Chinese and this was the perfect dish for my cravings. Chinese food is really simple and easy to make. Once you learn how to make Chinese food, you'll never call take-out again. About the jalapenos: Use care when cleaning and preparing the jalapeno peppers-they contain an ingredient called capsaicin that can irritate the skin. Always wear gloves when handling jalapenos and always throughly wash all utensils (including your cutting board) with soap and hot water after use. Other than that, eat your heart our Iron Chef Morimoto!
