INGREDIENTS

1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed of all visible fat, trimmed into 1/2" cubes

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

3 Tbsp ketchup

2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 Tbsp canola oil

1 Tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2" pieces

1 (8-oz) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained

DIRECTIONS

Combine the pork with 1 Tbsp of the cornstarch in a medium bowl; toss well to coat and set aside. Combine the remaining 1 Tbsp cornstarch, the water, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce in a small bowl; set aside.

Heat a nonstick wok or a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Swirl in the oil, then add the pork. Stir-fry until almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the bell pepper and pineapple; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar mixture and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture boils and thickens and the pork is just cooked through, 1-2 minutes.
