Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the minced garlic and stir to combine.

  2. Place the pork tenderloin slices in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the meat, ensuring each slice is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

  3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.

  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the pork slices from the marinade and reserve the marinade.

  5. Sear the pork slices in the hot skillet until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

  6. In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  7. Return the pork slices to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the reserved marinade and bring to a simmer.

  8. Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the pork and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  9. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

  10. Serve the Sweet N Sour Pork Tenderloin over a bed of fluffy white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
