Start by marinating bite-sized chicken pieces in soy sauce and a splash of vinegar for about 15 minutes. This tenderizes the meat and adds flavour.

Meanwhile, prepare your vegetables. Chop bell peppers, onions, and pineapple into chunks. These will add freshness to the dish.

Next, coat the marinated chicken with cornstarch. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Cook until golden brown on all sides before removing them from the skillet.
In the same pan, toss in your vegetables along with ginger and garlic for an aromatic base. Stir-fry until they soften slightly but still retain crunchiness.

Combine everything back together, then pour sweet and sour sauce over it all! Simmer gently for a few minutes until well mixed before serving warm over rice or noodles.
