Ingredients

 1 pound boneless pork loin
 Juice1 Can (10oz)
 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium or regular soy sauce
 Red bell pepper1 Large
 Scallions4
 4 quarter-size slices (1/4 inch thick) fresh ginger, unpeeled
 Cornstarch1 Tablespoon
 Vegetable oil1 Tablespoon
 1 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed through a press
 Black pepper1/4 Teaspoon

Directions

1 Cut the pork loin lengthwise into quarters. Cut each strip of pork crosswise into 1/4 inch-thick slices.
2 Drain the canned pineapple, reserving the juice. Place the pineapple juice and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add the pork slices and toss to coat.
3 Cut the bell pepper into thin slivers. Coarsely chop the scallions. Mince the ginger.
4 Remove the pork from the pineapple-soy mixture, reserving the liquid. Toss the pork with the cornstarch (the pork will be somewhat gummy).
5 In a large skillet, warm the vegetable and sesame oils over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute.
6 Add the pork and cook until well browned, about 6 minutes.
7 Add the bell pepper, scallions, black pepper and reserved pineapple-soy mixture, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly and the bell pepper begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
8 Add the pineapple chunks and cook until they are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
