About this dish

Chicken breast in bite-size pieces, coated in cornstarch and stir-fried with bell pepper and pineapple in a sweet and sour sauce. The sauce is vinegar, soy sauce and sugar, a staple of Cantonese-style restaurant cooking, and pineapple is a common Western addition. The cornstarch coating helps keep the chicken tender and lets the sauce cling to it.
