SWEET AND SOUR PORK

1 lb. lean, boneless pork, cut into 2-by-1/8-inch strips
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 20-oz. can pineapple chunks, packed in juice
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tbsp. sugar

1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
2 cups broccoli florets and thin-sliced stems
1 medium red or green bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch chunks

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over moderately high heat. Add half the pork and cook three to six minutes, stirring, until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pork.
