Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 pcs Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pc Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 pc Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 pc Yellow onion, sliced
- 150 g Pineapple chunks
- 3 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 100 ml Water
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, then mix well. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and water to create the sweet and sour sauce. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red and green bell peppers, along with the sliced onion, to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Stir in the cooked pork and pineapple chunks. Pour the sweet and sour sauce into the skillet, and toss everything to combine.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Pour this into the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
