How to make 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 🙂
