Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, vinegar, soy, tomato sauce and cornflour. Cook, whisking, until sauce boils and thickens. Simmer 3 mins.

  2. Meanwhile, in a wok, heat oil on high. Stir-fry chicken in 2 batches, 3-4 mins each.

  3. Return chicken to wok with sauce, vegetables and pineapple. Stir-fry 1-2 mins until just tender.

  4. Serve sweet and sour chicken with rice, sprinkled with peanuts.

TIP: Sliced fresh pineapple works well, too – make sure you remove the tough core.
