- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tbsp honey

Sweet & Sour Sauce
- 1 cup Stir-Fry Sauce (yes the thing listed above)
- 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup Ketchup Catsup also works

Pork-o-Rama

- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (pressed or grated)
- 2" piece Ginger, peeled and grated
- 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, seeded, cut into strips
- 1/2 Orange Bell Pepper, seeded, cut into strips
- 1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper, seeded, cut into strips
- 1 cup Pineapple

Instructions
Stir-Fry Sauce
- Add all of the ingredients to a jar with a lid. Shake well for the honey and cornstarch to thoroughly dissolve. Or whisk it together if you're not a child.
Sweet & Sour Sauce
- Whisk the ingredients until dissolved.
Pork-o-Rama
- Cut the pork into 1/4" rounds
- In a large 10-inch skillet, warm the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the pork, and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Set the pork aside.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes to soften the peppers.
- Whisk the sweet and sour sauce again and then pour it into the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken the sauce. Add the pork back along with the pineapple. Cook for about 1 minute to allow the flavors to mingle.
- Add your sweet and sour pork to a large serving bowl or platter. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
Notes
Whisk the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of broth until completely smooth, and then add the rest of the ingredients. If you just dump it all into a container, you might end up with clumps.
