Carefully add pork a few pieces at a time to hot oil, let cook for 2-3 minutes, remove and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all pork has been cooked in oil.
Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and spread pork in the bottom.

Pour pineapple juice from pineapple chunks into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and garlic salt.
Bring to a boil and pour over the pork, vegetables and pineapple. Gently stir to combine.
Place pan in oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to continually coat pork in sauce.
Remove from oven and serve over rice.
