Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork shoulder or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 cups Bell peppers (red and green), chopped
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Toss the pork cubes in the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with cornstarch until dry and white.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).

3. 3

   Fry the pork in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch, then drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce to create the sauce.

5. 5

   Drain most of the oil from the wok, leaving about 1 tablespoon; sauté the garlic, peppers, and pineapple for 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and bring to a simmer until it begins to thicken.

7. 7

   Add the fried pork back into the wok and toss quickly to coat every piece in the sauce.
