Sweet and Sour Pork II

Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 2 cups cooked white rice

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, ketchup, honey, vinegar, oil, garlic powder, ginger, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Add the pork cubes and mix until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. In a shallow dish, mix together the cornstarch and water. Dip the pork cubes in the cornstarch mixture and shake off the excess.
