How to Make Stir Fry Sweet Sour Pork Or Chicken Or Shrimp

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. Cut the protein into bite-sized pieces. If using pork or chicken, marinate in 1 tablespoon of the sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the bell pepper, onion, and carrots into thin strips. Mince the garlic.
  4. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the protein to the hot wok and stir-fry until browned.
  6. Add the garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add the bell peppers, onions, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
  8. Pour the remaining sauce over the stir-fry and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the protein and vegetables.
  9. Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional).
