Sweet and Sour Ham Ball Stir Fry

Langkah-langkah

1. Pour the pineapple juice into a large liquid measuring cup. Add enough chicken broth to bring the total liquid amount to 1 1/2 cups. Whisk the Sriracha sauce and the sesame oil into the pineapple juice mixture and set aside. In a separate small bowl or cup, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch. Set this aside next to the other liquids.

2. Add a teaspoon of oil to a large skillet or wok over high heat. Toss in the onion and stir to coat. Let it cook about 2 minutes, stirring once or twice, allowing it to brown on the edges. Add in the bell peppers and the garlic and stir fry, tossing frequently, over high heat, until the peppers are hot and still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer the onions, peppers and garlic to a bowl and set aside. (Do not cover the bowl, or the peppers will continue cooking and steam under the lid!)

3. Place the pan back on the stove and add the second teaspoon of oil. Heat until shimmering and then add the ham balls and any syrup with them. Lower the heat to medium high and stir until the syrup has boiled and reduced to a very thick and sticky consistency, about 3 minutes.

4. Add the pineapple chunks and stir to coat them well. Whisk the cornstarch and soy sauce paste into the pineapple juice mixture and pour into the skillet with the ham balls. Bring to a boil and the reduce the heat slightly, allowing the sauce to lightly boil as it reduces by almost half, into a sticky syrupy sauce. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

5. When the sauce is thick enough to leave a trail when you pull your finger through it on the back of a spoon, add the vegetables back into the pan and toss to combine evenly. Cook just until the pepper and onions are hot all the way through again. Serve over freshly cooked rice with additional soy sauce or Sriracha. Enjoy!
