Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pork

  1. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
  2. Marinate the pork with a pinch of salt and pepper for 10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, beat the egg. Mix the cornstarch and flour in a separate bowl.
  4. Dip the pork pieces into the egg, then coat them in the flour-cornstarch mixture.

Step 2: Fry the Pork

  1. Heat oil in a deep pan or wok to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Fry the pork pieces in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the pork and drain on a paper towel.

Step 3: Prepare the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, mix ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water. Adjust sweetness and tanginess to taste.
  2. Heat a wok or large pan and add a little oil.
  3. Stir-fry the vegetables (bell peppers, onion) until slightly tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add pineapple chunks.
  4. Pour the sauce into the pan and bring it to a simmer.
  5. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

  1. Add the fried pork to the pan with the sauce and vegetables.
  2. Toss quickly to coat everything evenly.
  3. Serve immediately over steamed rice.

Tips

  • For extra crispiness, double-fry the pork. After the first fry, let it cool, then fry again for 1-2 minutes.
  • Adjust the sauce to your liking: more sugar for sweetness, more vinegar for tanginess.
  • Use fresh pineapple for a natural flavor.
