Easy Sweet and Sour Pork

Skillet-easy, homemade sweet-and-sour pork can be on your dinner table in less than 30 minutes.

Serving over brown rice adds a bit softer texture and can be very delicious.

You will reduce your caloric intake and substitute Olive oil for vegetable oil.

Add broccoli, sprouts and water chestnuts for additional veggies.

These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:

  • 1 lb boneless pork loin chops cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 3/4 cup Original Bisquick™ mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen bell pepper and onion stir-fry from 1-lb bag
  • 1 can 8 oz pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 jar 11 1/2 oz sweet-and-sour sauce

These are the INSTRUCTIONS For Preparation:

  • In medium bowl, toss pork with egg. In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, place Bisquick mix, salt and pepper; seal bag and shake to mix. Drain excess egg from pork. Place pork cubes in plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat.
  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Place pork in single layer in skillet. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown and crispy on outside and no longer pink in center. Drain on paper towels. Cover to keep warm.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon oil in skillet; discard any remaining oil. Add bell pepper mix and pineapple; cook over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in sweet-and-sour sauce and pork; heat to boiling.

NOTES

Expert Tips:If you can’t find the frozen stir-fry mix, use 3/4 cup bell pepper strips and 3/4 cup thin onion wedges

Easy Sweet and Sour Pork is the perfect answer for a night where you want to serve something warm and fast as well as healthy for your family.

We often choose an Asian fare for dinner to add different types of flavor to our weekly dinners.

My kids especially love if I remember to make egg rolls or spring rolls along with it.

Those I pick up from a local restaurant. I have never been able to do that recipe justice!

I often round out the meal with either Won Ton or Egg Drop Soup.

For fortune cookies they are on their own!!

I know your family will enjoy this Easy Sweet and Sour Pork recipe. You will too!

Egg drop soup is a Chinese soup easily recognizable by the swirling strands of eggs floating in a light, savory broth. In addition to broth, eggs and cornstarch make up the bulk of the recipe.

A typical stir fry is a quick and easy dish to prepare. And this chicken stir fry is packed with veggies. Try adding bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, snap peas, or any of your favorite vegetables. Serve it with white or brown rice, or noodles. When you start the meal with either Egg Drop Soup or Won Ton Soup the only concern left is "What's For Dessert?"

      Thanks Ana. I think my crockpot, next to one pot meals are my favorite. Throw it in, let it cook! Use a liner and quick cleanup and storage. Now I just need to afford paper dishes and utensils!
