Another of the UK's favourites. Here chicken is served with peppers, pineapple and water chestnuts in a lovely sweet and sour sauce. Serve with plain white rice or fried rice.
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the chicken, peppers, ginger and garlic. Fry for 2-3 minutes, then add the water chestnuts, scallions and pineapple, if using, and fry for about 30 seconds.
Add all the sauce ingredients and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 6 minutes. Season with white pepper.
