Directions:

1. In a wok or deep skillet over medium heat, begin heating peanut oil to
deep-fry temperature of about 350 degrees F (8 to 10 minutes).

2. In a small bowl mix arrowroot, flour, eggs, and the 1/2 cup water to
form a smooth batter. Dip walnuts in batter. When oil is hot, fry walnuts
until lightly browned (30 seconds). Line a baking sheet with paper towels
and drain cooked walnuts on towels.

3. Pour hot oil into a container and wipe wok clean. Return 1 teaspoon of
oil to wok and place over medium-high heat. Stir-fry pineapple, red pepper,
and broccoli until vegetables are bright in color.

4. In a small bowl mix rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic,
the 1-1/2 tablespoons water, and cornstarch. Add to vegetables and cook,
stirring frequently, until mixture thickens. Add walnuts. Toss to reheat
and serve immediately.
