🔪 Instructions

1. Prepare the Meat:
• Dredge marinated chicken pieces in cornstarch, squeeze in your palm and shake to remove excess
• Repeat for the beef slices.

2. Fry:
• Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• Fry chicken pieces until golden and crispy (about 3–4 minutes per side). Set aside on a paper towel.
• Do the same with the beef slices. Set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:
• In a small bowl, mix ketchup, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
• In a separate cup, mix cornstarch and water to create the slurry.

4. Cook the Veggies:
• Drain most of the oil, leaving about 1 tbsp in the pan.
• Sauté garlic, onion, and peppers for 3–5 minutes until slightly softened.
• Add pineapple and ginger (if using), and stir for 1–2 minutes.

5. Combine Everything:
• Pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer.
• Add the slurry to thicken the sauce (stirring constantly).
• Toss in the fried chicken and beef. Stir to coat well.
• Cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce is glossy.
