Receta de cerdo agridulce

Ingredientes

• 1 lb pork chop (cubed, or shoulder)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp vinegar (rice vinegar preferred)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (light soy sauce preferred)
• 1 bell pepper (roughly chopped)
• 1/2 onion (roughly chopped)
• 1 cup pineapple (optional)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 450ºF and season your pork with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Transfer your pork to a plastic bag or ziploc bag along with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Shake well until the pork is lightly coated and then place on an oiled tray in a foil lined baking sheet.

3. 3

   Bake your pork for 40 minutes, flipping once after 20 minutes.

4. 4

   While the pork is baking, make your sauce: add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 1 tablespoon of water in a cup and stir until a smooth slurry forms.

5. 5

   Finish making your sauce by adding sugar, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, corn starch slurry, and 1/4 cup of water to a pan and bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat to low and add your vegetables. Cook until your desired doneness and then remove from heat (for us that means almost raw).

6. 6

   Add your pork to the sauce and toss until well coated. Enjoy!
