Subuta

Pork loin does the heavy lifting here, with bell peppers rounding it out. A Japanese dinner that takes 40 minutes, start to finish. The macros do the talking: 38g protein, 48g carbs, and 14g fat in every 480-calorie serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Pork loin
• 2 Bell peppers
• 1 Onion
• 1 cup Pineapple
• 0.5 cup Bamboo shoots
• 0.5 cup Potato starch
• 1 Egg
• 0.33 cup Rice vinegar
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger

Steps

1. Cut the pork into bite-sized chunks and coat with beaten egg and potato starch. Fry at 350 degrees 4 minutes until crisp; drain.
2. Stir-fry the peppers, onion, pineapple, and bamboo shoots 2 minutes — they stay crunchy.
3. Add the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy, water, and ginger; simmer 3 minutes until the sauce turns glossy and thick enough to coat.
4. Return the pork and toss 1 minute so the crust stays crisp under the glaze.
5. Serve over rice. Subuta is sweet-and-sour, Japanese style: brighter, lighter, and less sticky than its Chinese cousin.
