Kung Pao Pork
I make this recipe at least once a month. It is a great way to use pork chops, and my husband claims it is better than our favorite Chinese restaurant.
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- ½ onion
- 2 large boneless pork chops
- ¼ cup soy sauce divided
- ¼ cup water
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon dried, crushed red pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup unsalted peanuts
- hot cooked rice
Instructions
- Cut bell pepper and onion into 1" pieces.
- Cut pork into 1/2" cubes and drizzle with 2 Tablespoons soy sauce.
- Combine remaining soy sauce, water, lemon juice, sugar, and corn starch.
- Pour olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium high heat.
- Add pork and garlic, stirring for 5 minutes.
- Add bell pepper and onion and cook until peppers are tender and onions are translucent.
