Method

Preparation

Prepare the Sauce

In a bowl, combine ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Mix well until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.

Prepare the Vegetables and Meat

Slice the chicken and pork into thin strips. Slice tomatoes, cucumber, white onion, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Cooking

Stir-Fry the Meat

In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and/or pork, season with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.

Add Vegetables

Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, cucumber, and tomatoes to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Add Pineapple and Sauce

Stir in the pineapple chunks and the prepared sweet & sour sauce. Mix well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Serve

Remove from heat and serve hot over rice or noodles, garnishing with additional vegetables if desired.
