Equipment

2 Large Frying Pan
1 Saucepan
2 Large Bowl
1 Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 800 g Chicken Breast (diced)
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 160 g Cornflour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp White Pepper
  • 2 Egg (beaten)
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Red Pepper
  • 1 Green Pepper
  • 4 Pineapple rings (diced and the juice)
  • 300 ml Water
  • 6 tbsp Sugar
  • 6 tbsp Ketchup
  • 6 tbsp Vinegar
  • 4 tbsp Cornflour (mixed with 4 tbsp water)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add the chicken, salt, pepper and the beaten egg. Mix through.
  • Coat a plate with cornflour and coat each piece of chicken.
  • Heat the oil in a pan to high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the chicken for about 3 minutes until golden. Set aside.
