- In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch and salt and pepper to taste. Dredge pork in mixture to fully coat.

- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil. Add onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring regularly, for about 1 minute or until half done. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- In the pan, add sweet and sour sauce mixture, whisking regularly, and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, whisking regularly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened.
- Add onions, bell peppers and pineapple chunks. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until tender yet crisp. Add fried pork and continue to cook, tossing to coat with sauce, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve hot.
