DIRECTIONS

1:
Remove as much fat as possible from pork. Pound pork with back of a cleaver to tenderize pork. (The back of a heavy butcher knife works well.) Cut pork into 1-inch cubes. Combine marinade ingredients and marinate pork for at least 1/2 hour.

|
2:
Seed and devein bell peppers and cut into 1-inch squares, set aside. Cut pineapple into 1-inch squares, set aside. Combine all sauce ingredients and mix well to ensure cornstarch is dissolved.

|
|
|
3:
Toss pork in cornstarch to coat well. Heat oil in wok or large skillet on high heat. When oil begins to shimmer, fry pork until brown and done, about 2 minutes. Remove pork and set aside. Allow oil to reheat, then fry pork again until crisp. Remove pork and set aside. Drain oil from wok or skillet.

4:
Add 2 tablespoons of oil to wok and heat oil. Add bell pepper and pineapple stirring constantly and cook until bell pepper is soft but with a little crunch. Add sauce and cook, stirring all, until sauce thickens. Add pork and stir to coat pork with sauce. Serve over rice or noodles.
