- Whisk together pineapple juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil, chickne broth, sriracha and ketchup to make a sauce
- Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat
- Add the pork to the pan in small batches - you will cook the pork in batches so as to not crowd the pan and get an even crisp on each piece
- Cook each batch of pork for about 4 minutes - removing the pork from the pan each time you cook a new batch
- Remove all of the pork from the pan and add in another 1 tbsp of oil
- Add the snow peas to the warm oil and saute for 6 minutes or until soft
- Add the pork back to the pan along with the sauce and increase the heat to medium-high
- Toss the pork and snow peas in the sauce until it thickens slightly and the pork and veggies are fully coated in the sauce
- Garnish the dish with some toasted sesame seed and enjoy!
