Sweet and Sour Pork

1. Mix soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch together and place into a container or Ziploc bag with the pork. Marinate for about 30 minutes.

2. Whisk together the sauce ingredients: ketchup, plum sauce, oyster sauce, remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch, remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar, ginger, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Adjust quantities to taste, and set aside.

3. In a wok over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and stir-fry the pork until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.

4. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil, if needed, and stir-fry the bell peppers, onion, and garlic until softened and aromatic. Add the sweet and sour sauce, the browned pork, and the pineapple, and simmer until thickened and lovely, about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle in the green onions at the very end.

5. Serve over jasmine rice (preferably brown), and enjoy!

Note: Some extra sugar and be used in place of the plum sauce, and some Worcestershire sauce could be substituted with the oyster sauce. No need for a special trip to the store!
