Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork and slicing it into thin strips. Peel and slice the mango, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and finely chop the green onions.
-
Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering and very hot.
-
Sear Pork: Add the pork strips to the hot oil along with the seasoning blend. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the pork is nicely seared and begins to brown.
-
Add Mango and Bell Pepper: Toss in the sliced mango and red bell pepper, stirring continuously. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the pork loses its pink color and the mango and bell pepper begin to soften slightly.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, cornstarch, and pepper sauce until smooth and well combined.
-
Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet or wok with the pork and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
-
Thicken Sauce: Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and becomes clear, coating the pork and mango mixture beautifully.
-
Final Touch: Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency, stir in the sliced green onions, allowing them to wilt slightly and infuse their flavor into the dish.
-
Serve: Transfer the Caribbean Pork and Mango Stir-Fry to a serving dish and garnish with additional green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of tropical flavors with every bite!
