Sweet-and-Sour Pork Skillet Stir-Fry
  1. 1

    Put the pork in a bowl, sprinkle with Chinese five-spice powder, and mix thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat; stir-fry the pork until slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes; transfer the pork to a plate. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the wok as needed; stir-fry the red, orange, and yellow bell peppers with the onion and garlic until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the broccoli and pineapple; stir-fry for 3 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Return the pork and add the sweet and sour sauce to the wok; stir-fry until the pineapple is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
