Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast
- 300 grams Pork loin
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 large Egg
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 200 grams Pineapple chunks
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 60 ml Tomato ketchup
- 50 ml Rice vinegar
- 40 grams Brown sugar
- 20 ml Soy sauce
- 75 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast and pork loin into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Season the meat with salt and black pepper, and coat it thoroughly with cornstarch.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add it to the meat, mixing until the pieces are evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken and pork pieces in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Dice the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and white onion into chunks. Mince the garlic.
In the same skillet, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced peppers, onions, and pineapple chunks. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, combine the tomato ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and water. Mix well to create the sweet and sour sauce.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fried chicken and pork pieces back into the skillet, tossing everything together to coat the meat and vegetables with the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt or brown sugar.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with steamed white rice or noodles for a complete meal.
