Notes

Cooking Tips:

Perfectly Tender Pork

To ensure your pork turns out tender and juicy, make sure to cook it on medium heat. Avoid overcrowding the pan; this allows the pork to brown evenly and absorb the flavors from the garlic and onions. Simmering the pork slowly in the pineapple juice mixture helps it become tender and flavorful.

Balancing Sweetness and Tanginess

Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the sauce by tasting and tweaking as you go. If the sauce needs more sweetness, add a touch of extra catsup or pineapple juice. For a tangier kick, consider a splash of vinegar or a little more pineapple juice to enhance the balance.

Thickening the Sauce

For a perfectly thickened sauce, mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry before adding it to the dish. Stir the slurry into the simmering sauce gradually, allowing it to thicken without clumping. Remove the pan from heat as soon as the sauce reaches your desired consistency to avoid over-thickening.
