👨‍🍳 조리법

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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: Steamed jasmine rice is the perfect accompaniment to soak up the delicious sauce.
