Always a crowd-pleaser, this Sweet and Sour Pork (咕噜肉) recipe comes together in a few simple steps. There’s a reason this is a classic take-out recipe, it’s crispy, full of flavour, and coated in a sticky sweet and sour sauce that’ll make you want to lick your plate clean.
Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and ketchup in a small bowl and set aside.
Mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat the cut pork in the cornstarch mixture.
Add around 2 tablespoons of oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated pork. Cook the pork until has browned, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside the pork on a paper towel-lined plate and wipe down the skillet.
Add a splash of oil to the skillet and saute the shallots and bell pepper for a minute before adding the sauce. Let simmer for a minute.
Add the crispy pork and pineapple chunks to the skillet. Toss until everything is well-coated. You can continue to cook until the sauce has thickened to your liking or enjoy it as is.
