12 ounces lean boneless pork (or beef)

3 tablespoons cider vinegar

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 (8-ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 small zucchini, cut into julienne strips (1 1/2 cups)

1 medium red or green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
