On the plate: Plain pork strips and soft sweet potato cubes, with a little plum compote for dipping.
Make it a game: Make a little dipping pond beside the pork strips. The sweet potato cubes can be stepping stones across the plate.
Set it aside at step 2, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
