Sweet and Sour Pork
Ingredients:
- 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped (red and green)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pork: Season the pork pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Cook the Pork: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add Pineapple: Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, and sugar. Pour this sauce into the skillet with the vegetables.
- Combine: Add the cooked pork back into the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve: Serve the sweet and sour pork over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
Notes:
Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas or carrots for extra color and crunch. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to taste.
