How to Make Sweet Spicy Asian Pork

  1. **Prepare the Sauce:** In a jar with a lid, combine all sauce ingredients (see below). Shake well to blend and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  2. **Cook the Rice/Noodles:** While the sauce chills, cook your rice or noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside, keeping covered to maintain warmth.
  3. **Stir-fry the Pork:** Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook for about 3 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned.
  4. **Add Vegetables:** Add the onion (1/2 cup, chopped), celery (1/2 cup, chopped), and green bell pepper (1/2 cup, chopped). Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. **Simmer in Sauce:** Pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the ingredients evenly. Stir frequently.
  6. **Maintain Crisp Vegetables:** Be careful not to overcook the vegetables; they should still have a slight crispness.
  7. **Serve:** Serve the Sweet Spicy Asian Pork over the prepared rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions (2 tablespoons, chopped) and enjoy!
  8. **Optional:** For extra heat, add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite hot red chili sauce along with the other sauce ingredients.
