To make Pork: In bowl, combine flour, chili powder and salt until well blended; set aside. In another bowl, beat eggs. Dip pork into eggs and dredge in flour mixture. Shake off excess. In deep fryer or large Dutch oven, heat oil to 350° F. Add pork and fry 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain well on paper towels; set aside.
To make Sauce: In bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup water and cornstarch until well blended; set aside. In large saucepan or rondo, bring vinegar, sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup and soy sauce to a boil. Slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens. Stir in pork, peppers and pineapple; heat through. Cover and hold at 150° F in a food warmer until service.
To serve, ladle 1 1/2 cups Sweet & Sour Pork over hot rice.
