👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
In a bowl, toss the pork pieces with cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
💡 Profitipps: Marinating the pork with cornstarch helps to tenderize it and create a slightly crispy coating when fried. - 2
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
💡 Profitipps: Preparing the sauce in advance ensures it's ready to be added quickly during the stir-fry process. - 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove pork from the wok and set aside.
💡 Profitipps: Don't overcrowd the wok; cook the pork in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning. - 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
💡 Profitipps: Stir-frying aromatics quickly releases their flavor without burning them. - 5
Add the onion wedges to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
💡 Profitipps: Cooking the onions until they are slightly tender but still have a bite adds texture to the dish. - 6
Add the pineapple chunks and tomato wedges to the wok. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
💡 Profitipps: Adding the pineapple and tomatoes towards the end preserves their texture and fresh flavor. - 7
Return the cooked pork to the wok. Pour the prepared sweet and sour sauce over everything. Stir well to coat all ingredients.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly for a balanced flavor. - 8
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the pork and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Profitipps: Stirring continuously as the sauce thickens prevents it from sticking to the wok. - 9
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice.
💡 Profitipps: Steamed jasmine rice is the perfect accompaniment to soak up the delicious sauce.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓For a spicier version, add a pinch of red chili flakes with the garlic and ginger.

- ✓Ensure your pineapple is ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
