- Carefully cut the bell pepper, white onion, and pineapple into 1-inch cubes and set aside in separate bowls.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken with minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped onion, light soy sauce, and Shaoxing cooking wine. Mix well and let it marinate for an hour.
- Add half of the corn starch to the marinated chicken and mix until evenly coated. Then coat with remaining corn starch for crispy texture.
- Heat oil to 350°F in a deep skillet or wok and fry the battered chicken in batches for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
- In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and toast the tomato paste for 1-2 minutes. Add white vinegar, water, sugar, and soy sauce, bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry while stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency.
- Add bell pepper, pineapple, and white onion to the sauce and cook for 1 minute. Fold in the fried chicken pieces to coat.

Notes
For extra crunch, consider double frying the chicken and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
