Sweet -N- Sour Sauce:
1/2 cup white or rice vinegar  
4 tablespoons of ketchup
4 tablespoons of honey
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoons cornstarch diluted in 2 teaspoons water

Bring to a boil in a small pot, reduce heat and simmer for a couple minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool off and cover.

Frozen Chicken Nuggets
Preheat frying pan to medium high heat, add one teaspoon of cooking oil,
then put Frozen Chicken Nuggets (12-16 pieces) in the pan, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the nuggets cook while you chop the vegetables.
Once the chicken nuggets are cooked on one side, flip 'em over and cover again with lid until completely cooked.

Vegetables:
1  carrot
1  onion
3  green peppers
1  yellow pepper
1  sweet red pepper
1 small pineapple or 1 can of pineapple chunks (drained)

Chop vegetables to bite-size pieces and chunks, place into a bowl, and cover.

By this time the chicken nuggets should be finished. Transfer the nuggets to a metal pan or bowl.

Add another teaspoon of oil to the pan, adjust heat to high, add the vegetables and *cover with lid. Reduce heat sightly.

Remove the lid every couple minutes stirring and mixing the items. The veggies should cook in about five minutes or so. Keep an eye on them so they don't get over-cooked and mushy.

Lower heat, transfer the chicken nuggets back into the pan, add sauce, stir gently and thoroughly.
