Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons sherry
• 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
• 1 pound lean pork shoulder, cubed
• 2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
• 1 green bell pepper, stemmed and seeded, cut into strips
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups cubed pineapple
• 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme

Directions

• Whisk together pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, water, soy sauce, and sesame oil. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over and sauté the ginger and garlic for 15 seconds. Add the pineapple juice mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and stir until the sugar dissolve.
• In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the sherry. Whisk into the sauce; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened -- just a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Season the pork with the Essence. In a wok or large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. Add the pork and stir fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the pork on paper towels.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok and stir fry the bell peppers, onions, and carrots, about 2-3 minutes. Add the pork and stir fry another 4-5 minutes. Add the sauce and pineapple stirring, until warmed through and thickened, 1 minute.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
