This Sweet and Sour Pork is a one-pan Whole30 meal that packs all of the flavors of your favorite takeout dish. Grab a few simple ingredients and make this healthy dinner in less than 30 minutes!

I will never get sick of these Whole30 stir fry meals.

You may have noticed that I have quite a few of these Asian inspired one pan meals on my site. I like to make them because they are delicious in the moment and make for perfect leftovers.

It can be hard to find food that is truly satisfying while you are on the Whole30, but copycat takeout recipes always work for me. I whip up something like this Sweet and Sour Pork and pair it will cauliflower rice.

What kitchen tools will I need to make this healthy one-pan meal?

  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Non-stick pan
  • Wooden mixing spoon

What ingredients will I need to make this Sweet and Sour Pork?

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make this Whole30 recipe.

  • Pork loin chops
  • Arrowroot starch
  • Salt
  • Garlic powder
  • Pineapple juice
  • Coconut Aminos
  • Sesame oil
  • Chicken broth or chicken bone broth
  • Sriracha – Yellowbird sriracha for Whole30
  • Ketchup – Primal Kitchen ketchup for Whole30
  • Snow peas
  • Avocado oil

Let’s make some Sweet and Sour Pork!

Step 1: Slice, Toss, and Mix

To begin, slice the pork loins into thin strips. Then, toss the pork strips in a mixture of arrowroot starch, salt and garlic powder. Next, mix the wet ingredients together to make a sauce.

Step 2: Sauté

Then, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the pork strips in batches until browned on all sides and remove from the pan.

Then, keep the heat on medium and add more oil to the pan. Next, saute the snow peas until soft about 6 minutes.

Step 3: Mix It All Together

Then, add the pork and sauce back into the pan with the snap peas. Finally, increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly and fully coat the pork and snap peas.

Step 4: Enjoy!

    This recipe is amazing and it comes together super fast. The sauce is delicious! Quick tip: If you want to double the recipe (2 lbs of pork instead of 1), you do NOT need to double the amount of sauce. I had tons of sauce left over so I used it to marinate some chicken, which was also delicious 🙂
