Sweet and Sour Pork

2 lb boneless pork butt

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp shoyu

1 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 heaping tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic, minced

1 can diced pineapple

1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, sliced to thin coins

corn starch slurry

-------------------------------------------------------

mix all marinade ingredients together. taste. adjust. I usually add a dash more pineapple juice and a dash more vinegar.

chop pork into bite-size pieces. heat some oil in a stew pot over med-high heat. add pork, season, and sear. add onions/carrots, season and cook (about 5 more min).

once pork and onions are cooked, add pineapple and marinade. bring to a boil.

whisk in cornstarch slurry to thicken the marinade. serve over rice.
