Sweet And Sour Orange Pork Recipe

Sweet And Sour Orange Pork Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, large dice
  • 1 onion, large dice
Sauce:
  • 1 cup reduced-sugar orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or dried ground)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Optional*:
  • rice or quinoa
  • orange slices
  • *Optional ingredients are not included in the nutritional calculations.
INGREDIENTS:
  1. Put the pork and cornstarch in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Seal the bag and shake it up to evenly coat all of the pork with cornstarch.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ½ tablespoon of the vegetable oil, and the bell pepper and onion. Cook until almost soft, 6-8 minutes, then remove from the skillet and reserve on a plate.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, and add the pork pieces. Brown the pork until nearly cooked through, 2 minutes on each side.
  5. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the previously set-aside sauce and cooked vegetables to the skillet. Bring to a boil, and cook until thickened, and the pork is done, 4-6 minutes.
  6. Serve with optional rice or quinoa, and orange slices to garnish.
