  1. 1

    Toss the chicken pieces in the cornflour until lightly coated on all sides.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through with no pink in the middle. Remove and set aside on a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the peppers to the same pan and stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar and water.

  5. 5

    Return the chicken to the pan along with the pineapple chunks. Pour over the sauce and toss everything together for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with rice.
