For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:

1 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp salt

Cornstarch water (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with water), for thickening the sauce
Red chilies (optional, for spiciness)
Instructions:

In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces with salt, white pepper, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, Chinese rice wine, egg, and cornstarch. Mix well using gloves and let it marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining water, white vinegar, tomato sauce, salt, and sugar in a pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Add cornstarch water gradually to thicken the sauce. Set aside.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 180°C (350°F).

Prepare a bowl of all-purpose flour and whisk in 1 tbsp of cornstarch.

Coat the marinated chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Heat oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped bell peppers, onion, and red chilies (if using). Stir-fry until vegetables are slightly tender.

Add the fried chicken pieces to the wok and toss with the vegetables.

Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir-fry until the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables evenly and becomes slightly thickened.

Serve the sweet and sour chicken hot with steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy your delicious homemade sweet and sour chicken with bell peppers!
