Sweet and Sour Pork Over Cauliflower Rice
I used pork loin roast for this. You could also use pork tenderloin to shave off a few calories. Chicken would work in this recipe as well. Be sure to change the nutritional stats if you change the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Pork Loin, Cut Into 1/2 to 3/4 Inch Cubes
- 1 Small Onion Sliced
- 2 Bell Peppers, Julienned (I used one green and one red for both the flavor and the colors.)
- 1/4 cup Shitake Mushrooms
- 1 20 ounce Can Pineapple Chunks, Unsweetened
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Garlic, Chopped
- 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Splenda
- 3 teaspoons Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons Corn Starch
- 4 cups Riced Cauliflower, Cooked and Divided Into 6 Serving Bowls
Directions:
- In a large frying pan or wok that has been sprayed with non stick spray and heated to medium high brown the pork cubes, remove from pan and set aside
- Add onion and bell peppers to the pan, cooking for 2-4 minutes, stirring to slightly soften
- Meanwhile drain the pineapple juice into a bowl and add the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, sugar, Splenda and red pepper flakes. Add the corn starch and whisk to thoroughly combine with the other ingredients
- Add the pork, mushrooms and pineapple chunks back to the pan, mixing well with the onions and bell peppers
- Add the sauce, mix and cook until sauce has thickened and pork is cooked through (4-5 minutes)
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over cauliflower rice
