heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and pineapple chunks to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 4: Combine and Cook
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, white vinegar, and granulated sugar. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add the cooked pork back into the skillet, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
