Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the chicken with the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, salt and 2 tbsp cornstarch. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the red vinegar, rice vinegar, sugar and salt to make the sauce. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, the remaining cornstarch and the baking powder. Slowly whisk in the ½ cup water and 1 tsp oil until the batter is smooth.
- Heat 2 cups oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C). Coat the marinated chicken in the batter and fry in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- For extra crispness, fry all the chicken again for one more minute. Drain well and move to a fresh paper towel-lined plate.
- Heat a wok or large pan over high heat. Add the bell pepper, carrot, onion and pineapple and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until slightly tender.
- Pour the sauce into the wok and bring to a simmer. Stir the ½ tsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water together, add to the wok and stir constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Add the crispy chicken, toss to coat, and serve immediately.
