Sweet and Sour Pepper Pork

Sweet and Sour Pepper Pork pairs tender cubes of pork loin with sautéed bell peppers, onions, and garlic in a glossy, tangy-sweet sauce. Balanced with vinegar, soy, and a touch of ketchup, it’s savory with bright acidity and a hint of peppery warmth. Serve over steamed rice for a weeknight-friendly dish that tastes restaurant-worthy.
