Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 tbsp soy sauce
¼ cup pineapple juice (from the canned pineapple below)
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

For the stir-fry

1 tbsp neutral oil
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can (8 oz) pineapple chunks in juice, drained (juice reserved for sauce)

For serving

2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the pork cubes, soy sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, and white pepper in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Let the pork marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2
While the pork marinates, whisk together the sauce ingredients: rice vinegar, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, and pineapple juice in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. In a separate small bowl, stir together the 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water until smooth; set both aside.
