Preparation steps

1.
Place all marinade ingredients in a bowl, whisk to incorporate. Pour marinade into a large resealable plastic storage bag. Place the chicken in the bag with the marinade. Squeeze the bag several times to thoroughly coat the chicken, seal securely and marinate for 30 minutes.
2.
To prepare the sauce, heat the vinegar and pineapple juice in a saucepan set over medium heat. Add the sugar and soy sauce. Stirring constantly, heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
3.
Preheat a wok or deep skillet, heat 3 tablespoons peanut oil and stir-fry the marinated chicken until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from wok and set aside.

In a clean wok, heat the remaining oil and saute the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the red peppers, onion, carrots, mushrooms and sugar snap peas, cook for 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender crisp. Add cooked chicken, pineapple chunks and bean sprouts and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
