Sweet & Sour Pork & Pineapple Stir-Fry

Ingredients:
1 lb pork tenderloin

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp plus 1 tsp cornstarch, divided

2 cups (about 7 oz) fresh sugar snap peas

1 medium pineapple

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1/3 cup apricot preserves

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges (optional)

3 cups hot cooked rice (optional)


Directions:
1. On Cutting Board, trim fat and silver skin from pork tenderloin using Boning Knife. Slice pork lengthwise into four strips. Thinly slice strips crosswise. Combine pork, salt and 2 tbsp of the cornstarch in Classic Batter Bowl; set aside.

2. On Large Grooved Cutting Board, cut sugar snap peas in half crosswise on a bias using Utility Knife. Slice top and bottom off of pineapple using Santoku Knife, creating a flat base. Stand pineapple upright; use Pineapple Wedger to core and peel. Set aside half of the pineapple for another use. Slice remaining pineapple flesh lengthwise into four strips, then crosswise into 1/4-in. pieces. For sauce, combine soy sauce, vinegar and remaining cornstarch in Small Batter Bowl; whisk well. Add preserves and whisk well; set aside.

3. Add oil to (12-in.) Skillet; heat over medium-high heat 1-3 minutes or until shimmering. Place pork into Skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed 4-6 minutes or until browned on one side. Turn pork over using Sauté Tongs and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Add onion, if desired. Cook 30-60 seconds or until onion begins to brown. Reduce heat to medium; add peas, pineapple and sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thickened, stirring constantly. Serve stir-fry with rice, if desired.

Oh this really sounds good! I want to make it with chicken, I rarely eat pork.

MMM. I like to make my sweet and sour dishes with red and green bell peppers in it also. I also dredge my chicken in flour first before stir frying so its a little crispy.
