Pork, pasta and vegetable stir fry

For the next four weeks, I'll post a recipe and see how much interest there is in this. My sister and a friend have told me that I cook regularly enough and enjoy doing it so I might as well write about some of the dishes...

As we had veggies at home and some pasta, I decided to make a stir fry with these ingredients.
