Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ lb chicken breast, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup cornstarch, plus 1 tbsp, divided
1 large egg
1 pineapple
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ green bell pepper, chopped
½ cup white onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
white rice, cooked, for serving
scallion, sliced, for garnish
sesame seed, for garnish

Steps:

  • 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!

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it was cooked through and juicy. The sauce was also delicious and I served it over rice. Will definitely make this again!
