- 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.
