Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless pork shoulder, sliced into thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 4 cups cooked white rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients by slicing the pork shoulder, bell peppers, and onion, and mincing the garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork strips to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Reduce the heat to medium and return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and vegetables.
Toss everything well to coat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve the Hotsy Totsy Pork N Peppers hot over cooked white rice or noodles, if desired.
