Spicy Teriyaki Pork Stir-Fry

Pineapple Pork Teriyaki Stir-Fry is so much better than take-out. Tender stir-fried pork with pineapple and plenty of veggies in a homemade, spicy ginger and garlic teriyaki sauce. I like having a jar of homemade teriyaki sauce on hand as it really makes this quick and easy dinner perfect for any night of the week!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or sub with low-sodium tamari)

• 3 tablespoon avocado oil (or sub with extra light olive oil)
• 1 red bell pepper (seeded diced)
• 6 ounces carrots (sliced)
• 8 ounces fresh pineapple (cut into 1-inch pieces)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- MARINATE THE PORK: ---
2. 2In a bowl, measure and add garlic powder, baking soda and kosher salt. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and stir to combine. It should bubble and foam a bit.
3. 3Toss in the pork tenderloin (that has been cut into 1-inch pieces) and toss we'll to coat.
4. 4--- MAKE THE STIR-FRY: ---
5. 5Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large wok or chefs pan over medium-high heat.
6. 6For a spicier sauce, add sambal oelek or Sriracha to teriyaki sauce.
7. 7Once the pan and oil are hot, add in the marinated pork (work in batches if your pan is smaller) in an even layer. Leave it alone and allow it to cook 2 to 3 minutes before flipping and continuing to brown until no longer pink and fully cooked.Then transfer the pork to a clean plate.
8. 8Next, add the peppers, carrots, snow peas and pineapple to the wok. Stir and quickly cook until the vegetables begin to sweat, stirring occasionally until they soften but are still a little firm. About 3 to 5 minutes.
9. 9Next add in the light green parts of 1 bunch of green onions that have been cut into 1-inch pieces. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes.
10. 10Add the browned pork back into the wok and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Continue to stir and allow the sauce to bubble until thickened.
11. 11Serve over rice and sprinkle with the reserved green onions.
