Mild Sweet‑And‑Sour Pork

Ingredients

• 300 g pork tenderloin
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (canned, drained)
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the pork into thin strips and toss with the cornstarch; set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and minced garlic to create the sweet‑and‑sour glaze.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium‑high heat (about 2 minutes). Add the pork and stir‑fry for 3‑4 minutes until browned and just cooked through.

4. 4

   Add the bell pepper strips and pineapple chunks; stir‑fry for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are crisp‑tender.

5. 5

   Pour the glaze over the pork and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly; cook for 1‑2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

   Season with black pepper if desired, then serve immediately over steamed rice.
