Have ready some fresh abalone mushrooms.

Have ready all other ingredients needed to cook the dish.
Cut the green pepper, red chilli, tomato, cucumber and pineapple into pieces. Skin, shred and chop the ginger. Then set aside.
Have ready the ingredients needed to make the sweet and sour sauce.
In a medium bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Have ready ingredients to make batter to deep fry the mushrooms.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients to make the batter for deep frying the mushrooms. Mix batter until well combined and set aside. The batter should have a runny texture. And we are ready to cook the dish.
Heat oil in a wok over medium high heat. Test if oil is hot enough by dipping a wooden chopstick into the oil. Oil is ready for frying when bubbles form around the chopstick.
Dip mushroom into the batter and gently drop it into the hot oil, one at a time. Deep fry in batches until both sides of the mushrooms turn light golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oil and strain excess oil on a paper towel. Then prepare to cook the mushrooms.
In a wok, add 1 tbsp of cooking oil. Saute chopped ginger till fragrant. Add in all the cut vegetables and pineapple. Fry till aromatic and turns soft.
Pour in the sweet and sour sauce and let it come to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until sauce has thickened. Off heat, add in the fried abalone mushrooms and briefly mix to evenly coat with the sauce.

Notes
- Make sure to pat dry washed abalone mushrooms before dipping into the batter for deep frying.
- Deep fry the abalone mushrooms in smaller batches, do not overcrowd. This will prevent the mushrooms from sticking together.
- Only add in the fried mushrooms when the sauce has thickened. Quickly stir to coat mushrooms with sauce. Serve immediately to ensure the fried mushrooms remain crispy and tasty.
