👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, toss the sliced pork with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
💡 Conseils de pro: The cornstarch coating helps to tenderize the pork and create a slight crispiness when fried. - 2
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
💡 Conseils de pro: Prepare the sauce in advance to ensure it's ready when needed during the stir-frying process. - 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated pork in a single layer and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
💡 Conseils de pro: Cook the pork in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok, which can lead to steaming instead of frying. - 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.
💡 Conseils de pro: Be careful not to burn the garlic and ginger. - 5
Add the onion and bell pepper to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
💡 Conseils de pro: Stir-frying vegetables quickly helps them retain their vibrant color and crisp texture. - 6
Add the pineapple chunks and stir-fry for another minute.
💡 Conseils de pro: Pineapple adds a natural sweetness and tang to the dish. - 7
Return the cooked pork to the wok. Pour the prepared sweet and sour sauce over the ingredients. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients thoroughly. - 8
Gently fold in the cubed mango. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until the mango is heated through but still holds its shape.
💡 Conseils de pro: Add the mango at the very end to prevent it from becoming mushy. - 9
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately with steamed rice.
💡 Conseils de pro: This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
