Sweet and Sour Pork Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin or pork shoulder, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
• 2 tbsp water (if using cornstarch)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ginger powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic powder, and ginger powder. If you want a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in water and add it to the sauce mixture.
2. Cook the Pork: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add the red and green bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Combine: Add the pineapple chunks and cooked pork back into the pan. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir to combine. Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.
5. Serve: Serve the sweet and sour pork stir-fry over cooked rice, and enjoy!
