• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 4 cups cooked white rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients by slicing the pork shoulder, bell peppers, and onion, and mincing the garlic.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the pork strips to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and vegetables.

Step 9

Toss everything well to coat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 11

Serve the Hotsy Totsy Pork N Peppers hot over cooked white rice or noodles, if desired.
