Notes

  • We used green pepper in our pork stir-fry with pineapple, but any color bell pepper works.
  • Canned pineapple chunks or tidbits can be used.  Or, if you have the pineapple rings on hand, use those and cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Don't discard the drained pineapple juice; you'll need it for the sweet and sour pork stir fry sauce.
  • Add enough water to the pineapple juice so that you have 3/4 cups liquid total.
  • This pork stir-fry with pineapple tastes great served over white rice. We use a microwave rice cooker for perfectly cooked rice. 
  • Prefer shrimp or chicken stir-fry?  Sub in your favorite protein for pork, if desired. 
  • Looking for a chicken stir fry recipe? Try our version.  It has a special secret ingredient.
