Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 cup Pineapple Chunks
  • 2 Bell Peppers
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
  • 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Arrowroot Powder
  • 4 cups Cauliflower Rice

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs Pork Tenderloin into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubed pork in a bowl and toss with 2 tbsp Arrowroot Powder until evenly coated.
  2. 2In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos, 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tbsp Tomato Paste, 1 tbsp Honey, 1 tsp Ginger, and 2 cloves Garlic until well combined. This is your sweet and sour sauce.
  3. 3Heat a 12-inch wok or large skillet over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the coated pork and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  4. 4Add the 1 cup Pineapple Chunks and 2 Bell Peppers (cut into bite-sized pieces) to the wok with the pork. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the bell peppers are tender-crisp. You want them to still have a slight bite.
  5. 5Pour the prepared sweet and sour sauce over the pork, pineapple, and bell peppers in the wok. Stir everything together and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the ingredients nicely.
  6. 6Serve the sweet and sour pork mixture immediately over the 4 cups Cauliflower Rice.
