Ingredients:
1 to 1 1/2 pound Pork Tenderloin
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1/2 C. Ketchup
1/2 C. Rice Vinegar
1 (8-oz.) can Pineapple Chunks, with juice reserved
3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes, optional
1 1/2 Tbsp. Peanut Oil
1 Tsp. Butter
1/3 C. chopped Green Onion, white, bottom part

3. In a medium bowl, mix ketchup, rice vinegar, reserved pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Set mixture aside.
