Sweet & Sour Pork


This is another great dinner if you are trying not to gain weight! I love these kinds of recipes because they have lots of flavor and fresh ingredients.
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp soya sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger or 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 pound of pork, cubed (You could easily use chicken)
  • 1 red bell pepper diced large
  • 3 green onions sliced diagonally
  • 1 c drained pineapple tidbits or chunks but save the juice.
I use a hot wok for this but a large nonstick pan would work fine. Put the hoisin sauce, brown sugar, soya sauce and ginger in a large ziplock bag and mix. Add the pork and let it marinade while you cut the vegetables. Heat the oil in the pan. Stir fry the green onions and peppers until softened (about 5 min). Remove the vegetables and add the pork to the pan. Hang on to the marinade left in the bag. Brown the pork. Add the marinade, the pineapple and 1 Tbsp of the reserved pineapple juice. Stir fry about 5 min more or until the pork is cooked through. Return the green onions and peppers to the pan and stir fry together about 2 more minutes until everything is coated and heated through. Serve with rice ( I love Jasmine with this or Japanese sticky rice)
This is about 175 calories per serving not including the rice/ 4 Servings
