Steps:

• Mix cornflour and soy sauce. Then add remaining ingredients.
• Pour into a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring constantly. Simmer for 1 minute until sauce thickens to thin syrup consistency. Remove from stove, set aside.
• MICROWAVE option: Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir very well, microwave for another 1 1/2 minutes until thickened. Mix well again.
• Place pork in a bowl, add remaining ingredients. Use fork to mix through.
• Whisk eggs in a bowl.
• Add beansprouts, green onions, pork or prawns, salt and pepper. If using pork, crumble the raw pork in with fingers (see video). Mix through.
