Good & Garlicky Sweet & Sour Pork
This sweet and sour stir fry is an easy, but outrageously delicious pork dish!
I love simple dishes like this sweet and sour pork recipe. I don't know why, but we don't eat a ton of pork. Maybe I've just had bad luck with finding good pork recipes (if you have a favorite, leave me a comment!) but the ones I have found I really love. This one is one that I could eat weekly. Plenty of garlic. Loads of veggies. Pineapple. That's the stuff!
What you need:
1 lb. pork tenderloins
2 tbsp garlic
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, separate juice & pineapple chunks (you will use both parts)
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced diagonally
For the Sauce:
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
Directions:
Place all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Trim fat off of pork tenderloin and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Place pork and garlic in a large skillet that has been greased with a little oil or butter. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes over medium heat or until pork is cooked through.
Add pineapple juice and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes.
Add pineapple, onion, pepper, and carrots. Cover and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir sauce to combine it up if it has separated any and then add to skillet. Cook until sauce thickens and is bubbly, stirring constantly.
Serve over cooked brown rice.
