Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 2 whole Green bell peppers
- 250 grams Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 60 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin, bite-sized strips. Season with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, the cornstarch, and ground black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
While the pork marinates, wash and slice the green bell peppers into thin strips. If using fresh pineapple, cut it into bite-sized chunks; if using canned pineapple, drain the liquid.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, water, sugar, and sesame oil (if using). Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the marinated pork to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced green peppers and stir-fry for 3 minutes, until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and toss to combine with the green peppers. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the pineapple to warm through.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the ingredients. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and evenly coats the pork and vegetables.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if needed. Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
