Instructions
Sweet and Sour Sauce:
- Add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan and whisk to combine until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- Place it on the stove over medium heat. Stir or whisk well until it comes to a light boil.
- Stir constantly until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust for sugar and tanginess.
- Once the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, please remove it from the heat and set it aside.
Shrimp:
- Whisk cornstarch flour, salt, and black pepper in a large, shallow bowl.
- Add beaten eggs to another bowl.
- Pour about 2 inches of canola oil into a deep frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Dip the shrimp into the beaten eggs.
- Add the shrimp to the cornstarch mixture and toss until well-coated. Work in batches.
- Cook it in batches in the hot oil until golden and crispy.
- Remove to a plate and set aside.
Combine:
- Once done cooking the shrimp, discard all the oil, leaving only two tablespoons in the pan.
- Add the onion chunks, bell pepper chunks, garlic, and pineapple chunks, and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Add the sauce to the pan and stir until all the veggies are well coated.
- Add the shrimp and stir again to coat the sauce well.
- Stir and cook until the sauce has thickened more and is simmering lightly.
- Serve over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
