Ingredients:
1-2 lbs Cutup pieces of chicken or pork
2/3 c brown sugar
2/3 c cider vinegar
2/3 c ketchup
1 T soy sauce
1 T sunflower or cooking oil
A bunch of veggies like:
2-3 carrots cut into bite-sized pieces
a handful of string beans, stem end removed and halved
1 onion, sliced
1 eggplant cut into bite-sized pieces
a handful of snow peas, stem end and strings removed
2 cloves garlic minced or 3-4 garlic scapes chopped
1 can pineapple chunks, drained
Hot cooked rice
In a bowl whisk sugar, vinegar, ketchup and soy sauce. Pour half into resealable plastic bag and add meat. Close and refrigerate for a half hour or more. Set aside remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade from meat. Heat oil in large skillet. Add meat and cook for 3 minutes. Do not overcook since it will continue to cook as we add the rest of the ingredients. Add the vegetables and garlic. Cook until tender. Add pineapple chunks and reserved marinade. Heat through and serve over rice.
Practically any vegetable can be used in this dish (except those you generally don’t cook) so experiment with what you have on hand.
