Mix the egg yolks, 1 tbs of water, cornstarch, and salt and pepper to taste.
Heat two inches of oil in a frying pan.
Put the chicken cubes in the cornstarch mixture and then fry in batched of five minutes or until the cubes are crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
Empty the oil from the pan, leaving a thin coating. Stir- fry the onion and peppers over a high heat for a few minutes, tossing them to prevent them from burning or sticking to the pan.
Drain the pineapple cubes (setting the juice aside) and add them to the pan.

Add the chicken cubes and let simmer for five minutes or until cooked through.
Serve with rice with cilantro leaves as a garnish.
