SWEET AND SOUR PORK



Sweet and Sour Pork image

While this quick recipe deviates from the American Chinese restaurant classic that inspired it-pineapple and bell pepper are replaced by carrots and snow peas and the pork is stir-fried rather than deep fried-the ketchup is not a shortcut. In fact, it helps give this dish its signature tanginess.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons sugar, plus a pinch
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, thinly sliced
3 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 cups snow peas, cut in half

Steps:

  • Toss the pork with 1/2 tablespoon vinegar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, the soy sauce, cornstarch, ketchup, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/3 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another bowl.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the pork and slowly stir until it turns mostly opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Discard the oil and wipe out the skillet.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in the skillet, then stir-fry the garlic with a pinch each of salt and sugar, 15 seconds. Add the carrots and scallions and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. (Add a little water if the garlic starts to stick to the skillet.) Add the pork, snow peas and soy sauce mixture; stir until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the pork and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Get your oil hot before adding the pork: This will help sear the pork and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much pork or vegetables to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry the pork and vegetables over high heat: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Add the sauce just before serving: This will prevent the sauce from burning or overcooking.
  • Serve the sweet and sour pork stir-fry over rice or noodles: This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour pork stir-fry is a classic Chinese dish that is easy to make at home.
