--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         lean pork -- cut in 3/4" cubes
   1                    egg -- well beaten
     1/2  cup           all-purpose flour
   6      cups          peanut oil
     1/4  cup           brown sugar
     1/3  cup           vinegar
     3/4  cup           pineapple juice
   1      tablespoon    soy sauce
   2      tablespoons   cornstarch
   1      can           pineapple chunks in juice -- drain, reserve juice
   3      tablespoons   pineapple juice -- from reserved juice
   1      whole         green pepper -- sliced
   1      whole         red pepper -- sliced

Dip pork cubes in beaten egg and then in flour, coating well. Fry pork in hot
 peanut oil (360°) until brown, about 8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper
 towel; keep warm. In a wok or deep skillet, combine sugar, vinegar, pineapple
 juice, and soy sauce; bring to boiling. Blend cornstarch into juice; gradually
 stir into sauce. Continue to simmer sauce, stirring constantly until it
 thickens.

Stir the warm deep fat-fried pork cubes, drained pineapple chunks and pepper
 slices into the thickened sauce. Heat mixture thoroughly, stirring constantly
 for about 5 minutes.
