Pork Stir-Fry with Orange and Pineapple

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• ½ teaspoon minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Pork:
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained and cut in half
• 1 cup diced orange wedges
• 1 cup hot cooked rice

Step 1

Whisk together 3 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of water in a medium saucepan until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, garlic, and onion powder. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan while stirring, then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Keep stirring as it cooks until the sauce thickens, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Once thickened, take it off the heat.

Step 2

Toss 1/4 cup of flour with some salt and pepper in a large resealable bag. Cut your pork into bite-sized pieces, add them to the bag, and shake it up until each piece is nicely coated.

Step 3

Heat some butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the pork and cook until it’s browned all over, about 3 to 5 minutes. Toss in the carrots and pour in the sauce, letting everything come to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then. Finally, stir in the pineapple chunks and orange pieces, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to bring all the flavors together.

Step 4

Serve it hot over some cooked rice, and enjoy!
