Ginger and Five Spice Pork

This was a mid week trow together. I used up the pineapple in my fridge. A small carrot and some mushrooms . I brought some cheap pork and marinated it in some soy sauce some five spice and ginger. Put everything in to a roasting dish and put it in the oven at 180 for an hour. then put it up to 240 for 30 min . I finished it by thickening the sweet sauce with some corn starch and I like a kick so I added some pickled jalapenos.
