Preparation
In medium bowl or resealable bag, combine pork, egg and soy sauce. Marinate for 30 minutes.
In small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over low heat. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add chicken broth, pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and, if desired, crushed red pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cool water. Whisk into the sauce and cook on low until slightly thickened, 2–3 minutes.
Combine remaining 4 tablespoons cornstarch and flour in a large resealable bag. Shake to combine. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Using tongs remove pork from marinade. Add pork to cornstarch mixture and shake to coat. Remove with tongs and add pork to skillet, cooking about 3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove to plate and place in oven on warm.
Carefully wipe out skillet with paper towel; it will be hot. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet over medium heat. Add peppers to skillet and cook until just starting to soften, approximately 5–6 minutes. Add pineapple and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes. Add simmered sauce, fried pork and green onions to pan. Heat through for 1–2 minutes. Serve promptly.
