  1. 1 Combine 1 ½ cups water, reserved pineapple juice, sugar, vinegar, and orange food coloring in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Set aside.
  2. 2 Whisk ¼ cup cornstarch and ¼ cup water together in a small bowl until smooth; stir into sauce, stirring continuously, until slightly thickened.
  3. 3 Combine flour, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, egg, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl; gradually whisk in remaining 1 ½ cups water to make a thick batter.
