Step 1
Start by whisking together the flour and water in a medium saucepan until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, garlic, and onion powder. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan with the flour mixture, stirring constantly. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil, then keep stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Once thickened, take it off the heat.

Next, combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces, add them to the bag, and shake well to coat evenly.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork pieces and cook until they’re nicely browned, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. Toss in the carrots and pour in the sauce, then bring everything to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then.
