Day 6: China

We traveled back to the eastern part of the world tonight with Sweet and Sour Pork and white rice in honor of China.

Sweet and Sour Pork

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce
• 1 pound boneless pork, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, chunked
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
• 1 cup Kikkoman Sweet & Sour Sauce
• 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Directions

1. Blend cornstarch and soy sauce in small bowl; stir in pork until well coated.
2. Brown pork in hot oil in Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir carrots, onion, bell pepper and sweet & sour sauce into pork mixture. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes longer, stirring frequently.
4. Add pineapple chunks; cook and stir only until pineapple is heated through.

Our Opinion: Easy to make and tastes just as expected. Since we have both had sweet and sour [insert type of meat here], nothing about the dish was surprising. This particular recipe had the perfect mix of vegetables, fruit, and meat. We just made basic white rice for the side, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar :)
