How to make Pork Tenderloin with Bean Sprouts and Pineapple
- Step 1
Heat a wok until very hot, then add a little olive oil. Fry the chopped garlic and ginger. When the garlic begins to brown, add the pork tenderloin strips and stir-fry everything together.
- Step 2
Add the vegetables: finely julienned onion, bell pepper cut into strips, and carrots peeled and sliced into small rounds. Cook everything over low heat for two minutes.
- Step 3
Add the pineapple cut into cubes, the pineapple syrup, soy sauce, and the cornstarch dissolved in a little water to the wok.
- Step 4
Cook over high heat for 2 minutes, as the vegetables should remain al dente. This quick cooking method ensures the dish retains its texture and flavor.
