How to Make Sweet N Sour Sauced Pork
- Place 1 lb pork loin in a freezer-safe container and partially freeze for 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Thinly slice the partially frozen pork into bite-sized strips.
- **Stovetop Method (Meat):** Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil and 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add pork and saute, stirring frequently, until no longer pink (about 2 minutes).
- **Microwave Method (Meat):** Preheat a 6 1/2-inch microwave-safe browning dish on high for 4 minutes. Add 1 tbsp cooking oil and 1 tsp sesame oil; swirl to coat. Add pork and microwave, covered, on high for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until no longer pink.
- **Stovetop Method (Vegetables):** Add 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 cup sliced green bell pepper, and 1/2 cup sliced green onions to the skillet with the pork. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are crisp-tender (about 5 minutes).
- **Microwave Method (Vegetables):** Add 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 cup sliced green bell pepper, and 1/2 cup sliced green onions to the microwave dish with the pork. Microwave, covered, on high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Drain off any excess liquid from the pork and vegetable mixture.
- **Stovetop Method (Sauce):** In a saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tsp ground ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in 1 cup drained pineapple chunks and cook for 1 minute, or until heated through.
- **Microwave Method (Sauce):** In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp cornstarch. Stir in 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tsp ground ginger. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in 1 cup drained pineapple chunks and microwave, uncovered, on high for 30 seconds, or until heated through.
- Toss the sauce mixture with the pork and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
