Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.5 cup Cornstarch
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup Pineapple chunks
  • 1 large Green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large Red bell pepper, chopped
  • 0.33 cup Ketchup
  • 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
  • 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss the pork cubes in a bowl with cornstarch until every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.

  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, approximately 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 glaze.

  5. 5

    Drain most of the oil from the wok, leaving about one tablespoon, and sauté the garlic, bell peppers, and pineapple for 3 minutes.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

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

  8. 8

    Serve immediately over steamed white rice while the pork is still crunchy.
