  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
  • ⅔ cup canned pineapple chunks in juice (*reserve juice for sauce)
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ⅓ cup pineapple juice from pineapple chunks above (or orange juice)
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha (optional)

  1. 1

    Season pork with salt & pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Refrigerate 15 minutes (while you prepare the remaining ingredients).

    Combine all sauce ingredients except cornstarch and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Stir fry pork in small batches until browned, (it does not need to be cooked all the way through). Remove from pan and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add more oil to the pan if needed and add vegetables. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the pan.

  5. 5

    Add the stir fry sauce and bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and whisk into the boiling sauce a little bit at a time to reach desired consistency.

    Add pork, pineapple and vegetables back to the pan and let simmer 2 minutes or just until heated through.

    Serve with rice or noodles.
