A Pork Stir-Fry That Hits ALL the Flavor Senses!

Tonight's pork stir-fry definitely hit all the flavor senses! It's sweet from the brown sugar and pineapple chunks. Savory comes from the soy sauce. Tart from the red wine vinegar and hot from the Srirach. We loved it and it was super easy too!




Ingredients:


2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp vegetable oil, divided
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp hot sauce (I used Srirach
1/2 lb pork tender loin, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 c onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 c pineapple chunks
Rice, for serving
Green onions, for garnish


Prep:


1. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, 1 Tbsp oil, brown sugar, garlic, bay leaf, black pepper and hot pepper sauce in a bowl. Add pork, cover and marinate 15 minutes in refrigerator.


2. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Drain pork, reserve marinade, and add to the pan. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until pork is browned and almost cooked through. Remove and keep warm.


3. Add onion and bell pepper to the pan. Cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add reserved marinade along with pineapple and reserved pork. Turn heat down to medium and cook for 5 minutes, until pork is cooked through.


4. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions.
