Start frying the chicken 3/4 pieces at the time until golden brown and set aside on kitchen tissue to absorb any oil in excess.

Cut up all the vegetables then heat the wok oil in another wok or pan.

Add all the diced veggies and cook for 5 minutes, stirring well until all vegetables are cooked on the outside but still crispy inside.

Stir in cherry tomatoes and diced pineapple, mix well adding sweet n sour sauce, oyster sauce, wok sauce, rice vinegar, salt and sugar.

Cook for another couple of minutes and finally stir in the chicken that we have previously deep fried.
