  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place the pork in the oil and sprinkle with salt. Fry for 5 to 10 minutes, or until brown on all sides. Remove the pork from the oil, cover with foil to keep warm, and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Mix in the bell pepper, onion, and garlic and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and sugar and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the wine, vinegar, and water. Mix in the soy sauce, ketchup, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Return the pork pieces to the skillet and stir until well combined.
