Ingredients

For The Pork

1 pound pork tenderloin cut into chunks
1/2 cup Cornstarch
1 Egg
Vegetable Oil for frying

For The Sauce

1/2 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Rice Vinegar
1/4 cup Sugar
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
1 tbsp Cornstarch
2 tbsp Water

Vegetables

1 Bell Pepper chopped
1 cup Pineapple Chunks
1 onion chopped

Instructions

Prep the Pork. Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the pork pieces with the egg until well coated. Dredge the pork in cornstarch, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Fry the Pork. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork pieces for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Sauce. In a saucepan, combine ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add to the sauce, stirring until thickened.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables. In a separate skillet, stir-fry bell peppers, pineapple chunks, and onion for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine Everything. Add the fried pork to the stir-fried vegetables. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the top and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Serve. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
