Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Dice the pepper and onion into small pieces (about 1 cm). In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pepper and onion, pineapple (including all juice from the can), brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Stir well and allow to sit.
  2. Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch, flour, garlic, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Slice the chicken into nugget-sized pieces (about 2x2x1 cm).
  4. In a plastic bag, shake the chicken with 1 tablespoon of wok oil, then add the flour mixture and shake until well coated.
  5. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan. Brown the chicken well on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
  6. Add the remaining ingredients from the large bowl. Add crushed red pepper if desired. Bring to to a boil, then turn the heat to low and allow to simmer covered for 15-20 minutes. The sauce should thicken and the chicken will be cooked through.
  7. Serve over rice.
