Ok, this is easy but it’s a quick one, so you’ll have to concentrate and stay on the ball. Sweet and sour pork is an absolute classic and was one of the first Chinese-style dishes introduced to Britain. I’ve tried to make it fresh, light, and full of wonderful crunch, sweetness, and flavor. I’ve also brightened it up by introducing some lettuce leaves, which add texture and freshness. It’s best to cook this for two–perfect, fast, one-pan cooking for nights in.
Serves 2.
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 C long-grain or basmati rice
1/2 pound pork tenderloin
1 small red onion
1 red or yellow bell pepper (or 1/2 of each)
a thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 – 1 fresh red chile, to your taste
a small bunch of fresh cilantro
peanut or vegetable oil
1 heaped teaspoon five-spice powder
1 t cornstarch
2 – 3 T soy sauce
1 (8 oz) can of pineapple chunks
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 small heart of romaine or 1/2 a butterhead lettuce
2 t sesame seeds
~~~~~~~~~~~
To prepare:
Bring a pan of salted water to a boil and add the rice.
Cook according to the package instructions.
Drain the rice in a strainer, put back into the pan, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm until needed.
Halve the pork tenderloin and cut into 3/4″ cubes.
Peel and halve the red onion, then dice into 3/4″ cubes.
Halve the bell pepper, seed, and cut into 3/4″ cubes.
Peel and finely slice the ginger and garlic.
Finely slice the chile.
Pick the cilantro leaves and put them to one side.
Finely chop the cilantro stalks.
To cook:
Preheat a wok or large frying pan on a high heat and once it’s very, very hot add a good lug of peanut oil and swirl it around.
Add the pork and the five-spice powder and toss or stir them around.
Cook for a few minutes until browned then transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
Carefully give the wok or pan a quick wipe with a ball of paper towels and return to the heat.
When it’s really hot, add 2 good lugs of peanut oil and all the chopped ingredients.
Toss or stir everything together and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the cornstarch and 2 T of soy sauce.
Let everything cook for 30 to 40 seconds, then add the pineapple chunks with their juice, the browned pork and balsamic vinegar.
Season with black pepper and a little more soy sauce, if needed.
Break apart a piece of pork, check it’s cooked through, and remove from the heat.
Reduce the sauce to a gravy-like consistency by cooking for a few minutes more.
To serve:
Divide the rice and lettuce between 2 bowls or plates.
Spoon the pork, veggies, and sauce over the top and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and reserved cilantro leaves.
