Instant Pot Sweet and Sour Pork

Instant Pot Sweet and Sour Pork uses bite-sized pork loin pieces cooked with onions, red peppers, and pineapple chunks in a tangy sauce composed of pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Pressure cooking tenderizes the pork quickly while blending the flavors. Served over rice and garnished with cilantro, it offers a balanced savory and sweet profile typical of sweet and sour dishes.
