Pork Stir Fry

Instructions

  • Season pork with salt & pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Refrigerate 15 minutes (while you prepare the remaining ingredients).
  • Combine all sauce ingredients except cornstarch and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Stir fry pork in small batches until browned, (it does not need to be cooked all the way through). Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add more oil to the pan if needed and add vegetables. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the pan.
  • Add the stir fry sauce and bring to a simmer.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and whisk into the boiling sauce a little bit at a time to reach desired consistency.
  • Add pork, pineapple and vegetables back to the pan and let simmer 2 minutes or just until heated through.
  • Serve with rice or noodles.
