sweet and sour pork recipe easy

Recipe for sweet and sour pork:

Ingredients:

- 1 pound (450g) boneless pork loin, cut into bite-sized pieces

- 1/2 cup cornstarch

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks

- 1 onion, cut into chunks

- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)

- 1/2 cup ketchup

- 1/4 cup rice vinegar

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss the pork pieces in the cornstarch mixture until they are well coated.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated pork pieces and cook until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the bell pepper and onion chunks. Stir-fry them for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender.

4. Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well combined. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and pineapple.

6. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.

7. Add the cooked pork back into the skillet and toss it in the sauce until everything is well-coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the pork.

8. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir well. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

9. Remove the skillet from heat and serve the sweet and sour pork over steamed rice or noodles.
