Sweet and Sour Pork

If you like pork tenderloin, you’ll love this Chinese dinner — 30 minutes from craving to table. Each serving lands at 496 calories with 47g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Pork tenderloin
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• 1/2 cup Pineapple chunks
• 1/2 Bell pepper
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp Ketchup

Steps

1. Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-size pieces and toss with the cornstarch and a pinch of salt until coated.
2. Sear the pork in a hot wok or large skillet with a drizzle of oil over high heat, 4-5 minutes, until golden and crisp at the edges. Set aside.
3. In the same wok, stir-fry the sliced bell pepper 2 minutes until bright and just tender.
4. Add the pineapple chunks, rice vinegar, and ketchup. Simmer 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.
5. Toss the pork back in for 1 minute, turning until every piece is glazed.
6. Taste it. Add a pinch of sugar if you like it sweeter, or a splash more vinegar for tang. Serve right away.
