Sweet And Sour Pork
- 1 Pound pork tenderloin cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 3 tbsp sugar, plus pinch
- 3 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 3 scalllions, cut into 1/2" pieces
- 3 cups snow peas cut in half
- Toss the pork with 1/2 tbsp vinegar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the remaining 2 tbsp vinegar, the soy sauce, cornstarch, ketchup, 3 tbsp sugar, 1/3 cup water and 1/2 tsp salt in another ball.
- Heat 2 tbsp peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork and slowly stir until it turns mostly opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and transfer to plate. Discard the oil and wipe out the skillet.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp peanut oil in the skillet, then stir-fry the garlic with a pinch each of salt and sugar, 15 seconds. Add the carrots and scallions and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. ( add a little water if garlic sticks to the skillet) Add the pork, snow peas and soy sauce mixture: stir until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
