Pork and Pineapple Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Cooked rice (4 cups)
• Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Water (2 tablespoons)
• Sesame oil (1 teaspoon)
• Oyster sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 medium, sliced)
• Bell peppers (1 cup, sliced (mixed colors for visual appeal))
• Pineapple chunks (1 cup, fresh or canned)
• Pork tenderloin (1 pound, thinly sliced)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the sliced pork tenderloin and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell peppers, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
5. Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the pineapple to caramelize slightly.
6. Return the cooked pork to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir fry for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients beautifully.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
8. Serve the stir fry over a bed of warm cooked rice and garnish with freshly sliced green onions for a burst of color and flavor.
