Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken

 

Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken                             serves 4

This Hawaiian chicken recipe is comprised of everyday ingredients that are simple to find, and totally awesome when combined. So, despite the simplicity, it feels so special.


It’s so simple: sear the chicken, cook the peppers, combine the sauce ingredients, and then add all of the ingredients together.  Cook until the peppers are soft, and the sauce has thickened and glossy.  It’s that simple!

·         1 tablespoon olive oil

·         3 tablespoons soy sauce

·         3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

·         2 tablespoons rice vinegar

·         ½ teaspoon ground ginger

·         1 tablespoon garlic minced

·         ½ cup barbecue sauce

·         ½ cup pineapple juice

Instructions


1.                  Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2.                  Season chicken with salt and pepper then add to the skillet.

4.                  Remove chicken from pan, add in bell peppers and saute for 3-5 minutes until tender, remove from pan.

5.                  Add sauce ingredients to pan, and bring to a simmer, add chicken back in, and cook on medium-low heat, letting sauce reduce while chicken cooks through.

6.                  Add peppers and pineapple to pan, and cook a few minutes more, until sauce is thick, sticky, and glossy, and peppers are tender.

7.                  Serve over cooked white rice with some vegetables. 

Enjoy!

 

Note: You can use other chicken parts if you wish.  It may just take a bit longer to cook them fully before you prepare the sauce. Firm tofu can also be a good substitute.                                           Adapted from Rachel’s recipe atwww.spendwithpennies.com

Seafood green onion pancake

 Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it!
