This is an excellent WW dish! I do think that next time I will throw in more veggies. Like Derf did. Wonderful flavor, easy to prepare and you get to stay on program. I used shrimp and also dusted the finished product with some red pepper flakes for heat. (not showing in photo). I did add about 2 tbls of water before adding the ginger and garlic to deglaze my wok. I also added another 2 tbls of water about 2 minutes into the bell pepper and pineapple cooking time. This thicken up beautifully with the final addition of the sauce mixture. I served this delicious dish over rice.Thanks for posting.

Yes, this is a good one! Great alternative to chinese sweet & sour pork. Very tasty! You wouldn't know its good for you! Looks different from picture, more red sauce in the one I made. I would make this one again!

I made adaptations to cook in a crockpot and was pleased with the results. The sauce is terrific~not too sour, nor too sweet and a pretty pale red. I added addition vegetables (carrots, onion, & celery) . Thank you for sharing the recipe! It will be in my keeper cookbook. :-)

I made this last night and it was awesome! The sauce was nice and thick; it coated the meat and veggies perfectly. I couldn't tell it was a WW recipe (and luckily the fiance couldn't either ... ssshhh). This one is definitely a keeper. :)

Excellent, I used fresh pineapple that needed to be used up. I will try this again with other meats. A keeper of a recipe.
