Method

  1. 1

    Rinse {Jasmine Rice} until the water runs mostly clear. Add to a saucepan with 450ml water, bring to a boil, cover, and cook on low until tender.

    ~14 min

  2. 2

    While the rice cooks, slice the {Pork tenderloin} into thin bite-size pieces. Toss with {Cornstarch}, {Salt}, and {Black pepper} until lightly coated. Slice the {Bell pepper} and {Onion}, mince the {Garlic}, grate or finely chop the {Ginger}, and cut the {Pineapple} into bite-size pieces if needed.

    ~15 min

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together {Ketchup}, {Rice Vinegar}, {Brown sugar}, {Soy sauce}, {Cornstarch}, and 120ml water until smooth.

    ~2 min

  4. 4

    Heat 2 tbsp of the {Vegetable oil} in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pork in two batches until lightly golden and just cooked through, 2–3 minutes per batch, then transfer to a plate.

    ~6 min

  5. 5

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp {Vegetable oil} to the pan. Stir-fry the {Onion} and {Bell pepper} for 3 minutes until just tender. Add the {Garlic} and {Ginger} and cook for 1 minute more.
