Description
A delightful recipe for Sweet and Sour Pork that combines tender pork with a tangy sauce and colorful vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Toss the pork pieces in the flour mixture until well coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated pork pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, onion, and pineapple. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Pour this sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
- Return the browned pork to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the pork and vegetables.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- To make it healthier, substitute the pork with chicken breast or tofu for a vegetarian option.
