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.

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.
