Ingredients
- 500 g Pork (or chicken breast, or shrimp, peeled and deveined)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 200 g Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, cut into chunks
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 50 g Cornstarch
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 120 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the pork (or chicken) into bite-sized pieces. If using shrimp, ensure they are peeled and deveined.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix to form a batter. Add the meat or shrimp to this mixture and coat evenly.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the meat or shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through (4-5 minutes per batch). Remove and set aside.
Step 4
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Add the garlic, diced bell peppers, and onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 5
Add the pineapple chunks and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, and water to form the sweet and sour sauce.
Step 7
Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 8
Return the cooked pork (or chicken, or shrimp) to the pan and toss everything together to coat evenly with the sauce.
Step 9
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with optional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
