Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lean pork loin (cut in strips or cubes)
- 2 tablespoons shortening (hot shortening)
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken stock/broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in strips
- 1/2 large onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat the shortening in a skillet large enough to keep the pieces of pork separate while they brown. Add pork and brown quickly but do not cook completely since they will continue to cook in the next steps.
-
Step 2: While the pork is browning (or before you start), stir together the next six ingredients: vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, chicken stock/broth, soy sauce, and ketchup.
-
Step 3: Stir the liquid mixture into the browned pork and simmer until it bubbles and begins to thicken.
-
Step 4: Stir in pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and carrots.
-
Step 5: Simmer for 6-10 minutes, until the carrot slices are cooked.
-
Step 6: Serve over hot rice.
