Sweet n' Sour Pork

This was my first time making sweet n' sour pork and it turned out to be really good. Most recipes use ketchup in their sauce but this one calls for tomato sauce. I really suggest you make your own sauce since it is so easy to make and tastes way better.

Ingredients

3 cups of water
1 1/2 cups uncooked basmati rice
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons hot sauce
Juice from 1 lime
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut in 3 cm cubes
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 inch ginger, grated
1 large onion, cut in 3 cm cubes
2 bell peppers. cut in 3cm cubes
1 14-ounce (398ml) can of pineapple chunks, drained
Pepper

Directions

1. In a medium size pot, combine water and rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, put lid on pot, and simmer until cooked. Once rice is cooked, add butter and chopped green onion. Fluff with a fork and reserve.
2. While rice is cooking, prepare sauce. In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients from hot sauce to cornstarch.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add pork and cook for about 5 minutes, or until golden and caramelized. Add ginger, garlic, onions and bell peppers and saute for about 5 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender but crisp. Season with pepper.
4. Reduce heat to medium and add pineapples and sauce. Mix well and bring to a bubble. Cook until sauce has thickened.
5. Serve pork over green onion rice.
