How to Make Sweet Sour Pork N Onions

In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger.
Add the pork to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the pork and onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and the onions are softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour the marinade mixture over the pork and onions. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
