Stir-Fried Pork with Orange and Pineapple

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• ½ teaspoon minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Pork:
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained and cut in half
• 1 cup diced orange wedges
• 1 cup hot cooked rice

Step 1

Whisk together the flour and water in a medium saucepan until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, garlic, and onion powder. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan while stirring, then heat it over medium-high until it comes to a boil. Keep cooking and stirring for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens nicely. Take it off the heat and set it aside.

Step 2

Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag. Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bag. Give it a good shake so the pork gets evenly coated.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a big skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until it’s browned all over, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Toss in the carrots and pour in the sauce, then let everything simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring now and then.

Step 4

Finally, stir in the pineapple chunks and orange segments, and let it all simmer together for another 5 minutes. Serve this delicious stir-fry over some warm, cooked rice and enjoy!
