Pineapple Sweet & Sour Chicken

Instructions

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 egg. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.
• Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and carefully cube the fruit in each half, leaving the outside of the pineapple intact. Scoop out the cubed pineapple and set aside.
• Place the remaining cup of cornstarch in a separate large bowl and toss the marinated chicken pieces until liberally coated. Shake off excess.
• Fill medium pot halfway with oil and heat until the oil reaches 350˚F (180°C).
• Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked throughout. Transfer to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain.
• To make the sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Sauté the bell pepper and onion for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
• Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant.
• Add the vinegar, sugar, and ketchup, and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Add the pineapple cubes and warm thorough.
• Add the chicken to the frying pan and toss to coat with the sauce.
• Scoop the mixture into the hollowed out pineapple along with a scoop of rice.
• Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!
