Freeze the pork until firm enough to slice easily, about 30 minutes. Slice
across the grain into thick slices. Cut into 1-inch by 2-inch pieces.

In a large bowl, combine the stock, soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch and
cinnamon. Add the pork and toss gently. Cover and let stand 20 minutes.

In a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil for 2
minutes. Add the scallions, ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 10 seconds, or
until the scallions are translucent.

Add the pork and marinade. Stir-fry until the pork begins to brown, 2 to 3
minutes.

Add the pears and stir-fry 1 minute. Add the spinach. Cook until the
spinach begins to wilt, about 1 minute.

Serves 4
