Put the cornflour into a bowl and gradually mix in the soy sauce, vinegar and honey.

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan on a low heat. Put in the pepper, onion and garlic and stir-fry them for 2 minutes.

Put in the peanuts, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and stir-fry for 2 minutes more. Mix in the pineapple.

Stir the cornflour mixture. Pour it into the pan.

Simmer, stirring, until the mixture thickens to a small amount of glossy sauce.
