Do you think I could "whole 30" this recipe?

Original:

Sweet Sriracha-Glazed Pork Skewers
adapted from Cook's Illustrated, May/June 2015
serves 4

2 pork tenderloins, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tsp kosher salt
3 Tbs packed brown sugar
2 Tbs Sriracha sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
cooking spray


Could I replace the brown sugar with applesauce and the cornstarch with arrowroot?

I think it's doable to get similar flavors. Also, Sriracha isn't Whole30 compliant BUT Nom Nom Paleo has a Whole30 Sriracha recipe.  Maybe add a few extra dates to the sriracha recipe and don't add any applesauce to the pork recipe. 

If you don't already have arrowroot powder look into getting tapioca starch instead. They are pretty interchangeable but tapioca starch is cheaper.
