Ingredients

• Pork chops - 2 pieces (about 150g each)
• Gluten-free soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Ketchup - 2 tablespoons
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ketchup, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the sweet and sour sauce.
2. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté the sliced bell pepper for 2-3 minutes until soft.
5. Add the pineapple chunks and the sweet and sour sauce to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
