  1. Marinate the pork in soy and Shaoxing wine, then dip in egg and coat in cornstarch.
  2. Deep fry the pork in 350 degrees F oil for 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  3. Stir-fry the bell peppers and pineapple in a wok for 2 minutes until just tender.
  4. Add the sauce of ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and cornstarch slurry, then toss with the fried pork.
Cooks notes. Recipes are tested in a US home kitchen. Substitute lemon for lime if you must, but the result will read brighter. Salt to taste -- our quantities skew toward kosher.
