Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (cubed) or u can used pork

2 egg yolks

2 tablespoons of cornstarch

Vegetable oil

For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:

1 onion, chopped

1 small red pepper, diced

1 small orange pepper, diced

1 can of pineapple chunks in natural juice (450g or thereabouts)

1 tablespoon of cornstarch

2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup

2 tablespoons of light soy sauce

1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar

Fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves (for garnish)

Salt and ground black pepper

Directions

Mix together the egg yolks, one tablespoon of water, the cornstarch, and some salt and pepper.

Heat two inches of oil in a wok or deep frying pan.

Toss the chicken in the cornstarch mixture and deep-fry the meat in batches of five minutes (or until the chicken becomes crisp and golden). Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Empty the oil from the wok, leaving behind a thin coating in the pan, then stir-fry the onion and peppers over high heat for a few minutes, tossing continuously to prevent burning or sticking.

Drain the pineapple cubes (reserving the juice), add to the pan, and cook for a minute or so.

Use some of the reserve pineapple juice with a little cornstarch to make a paste, then add to the pan, along with the remaining juice, the ketchup, soy sauce and vinegar. Add 1/2 cup of water if you feel the mixture is too dry. Increase the heat and stir until the sauce thickens.

Add the chicken pieces back into the pan and let simmer for five minutes until cooked through. Check the seasoning, then serve with cilantro leaves as a garnish.
