This pork stir fry is a life saver when you need a hot meal on the table in a hurry. The secret is tossing the pork in a little cornstarch, which gives it a beautiful golden crust and keeps the meat wonderfully tender while it cooks with the vegetables.

I love how the pineapple adds a bright, sweet touch that balances the savory sauce. It is a fantastic way to clear out the vegetable drawer, so feel free to use whatever crisp veggies you have on hand.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Toss the pork strips in a bowl with the cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
2
Whisk the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger together in a small bowl to make your sauce.
3
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.
4
Add the pork to the pan and cook until it is browned on all sides, then remove it from the skillet and set aside.
5
In the same skillet, add the broccoli and bell pepper. Stir fry them for about 4 minutes until they are bright and crisp tender.
6
Add the pork back into the pan along with the pineapple chunks and the prepared sauce.
7
Toss everything together and let it bubble for a minute or two until the sauce thickens and coats everything nicely.
8
Serve immediately over warm rice or noodles.

💡 Tips

Serve this dish over fluffy jasmine rice to soak up all the extra sauce. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, though it is best eaten fresh so the veggies stay crisp.
