Halve the green pepper and de-seed while rinsing. Chop the green pepper, and then chop the bamboo shoots into pieces about the same size as the pork; set aside. 

Warm the vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat to very hot, about 375-F degrees. Deep-fry the pork slices until they turn golden brown and float to the surface. 
Drop the bamboo shoots into the oil and remove immediately, along with the pork. Drain well on paper towels and set aside. Prepare the sweet-and-sour sauce in a separate saucepan. Blend together the sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, water, 
salt and cornstarch mixture over moderate heat. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens, then reduce the heat to simmer. Pour the excess hot oil out of the wok, being very careful to prevent burns by not allowing it to splatter. Leave about two tbsp. of warm oil in the bottom of the wok. Re-heat to very hot, or until the surface of the oil begins to ripple. Add the garlic, and stir-fry. Then add the scallions and green pepper and stir fry. Pour the sauce into the wok. Add the pork and stir to coat thoroughly. Pour the meat and sauce over a bed of steamed white rice to serve. 

NOTE: You may prepare your own Sweet & Sour Sauce from scratch by combining 3/4 cup water with 3/4 cup brown sugar in a saucepan over moderate heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, add 1/2 cup cider vinegar and cook just for a minute more. Stir in 3 Tbs. cornstarch, 2 Tbs. soy sauce, and about 1/4 cup of water. Simply stir until thickened. Serve warm or cold on the side of nearly any meal.
