Ingredients

Calorie controlled cooking spray

5 spray(s)

Pork tenderloin, raw

700 g, lean, cut into thin strips

Pineapple in juice, drained

425 g, chunks, unsweetened

Rice Wine Vinegar

80 ml

Light Brown Sugar

50 g

Cornflour

2 tablespoon(s), level

Salt

½ teaspoon(s)

Soy Sauce

1 tablespoon(s)

Green pepper

2 medium, sliced

Onion

1 small, sliced

Brown rice, boiled

600 g, kept warm

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick frying pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
  2. Add pork and cook until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes; remove from pan and set aside. Drain any remaining fat from frying pan.
  3. Drain pineapple chunks, reserving juice; set aside.
  4. Combine the vinegar, sugar, cornflour, salt, soy sauce, reserved pineapple juice and 120ml water in a small bowl; add to frying pan and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add pork; cook covered over low heat until meat is tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  5. Add the peppers, onion and pineapple chunks; cook 5 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.

Notes

Keep the pork slightly frozen so it’s easier to slice into thin strips.
