**Broccoli, carrots and a snow pea medley would be great; we used regular mixed veggies because I didn't know we were out of stir fry blends till dinner was cooking.
Directions:
- Toss the pork with 2-3 tsp of stir fry sauce.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in wok, cook pork until browned, set aside.
- Meanwhile, dice veggies to bite-sized pieces; drain pineapple (reserve juice) and cut into smaller pieces.
- After removing cooked pork, heat remaining oil in the skillet and stir fry the veggies for 3-4 minutes.
- Add pineapple juice and remaining stir fry sauce, bring to a boil, then simmer till veggies are tender.
- Add pork and pineapple back to the skillet, toss to heat through. Serve over rice.
This is an easy mid-week recipe that's full of flavor and will be a real kid-pleaser. Enjoy!
