Sweet Sour Pork

Always ate this dish and heard from others who have done this dish said its very easy to cook but have not been successfully cooking this dish to the right kind of crunchiness. On Sunday, decided to try this dish again, and this time I got it right! Yay.....

I added pineapple because I like the natural sweet sour taste of it.
