Recipe -
1 chicken breast - cubed
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup pineapple juice
2 garlic cloves - minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons cold water
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons scallion greens - chopped
Heat a pan on high heat.
Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add it to the hot pan and brown all sides. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the soy sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar and honey to the pan. Stir, scraping the brown bottom.
Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with the water. Add it to the soy sauce mixture and mix well. Cook the sauce for about five minutes, stirring constantly.
Increase the heat and return the chicken to the pan. Mix well to coat all of it. Cook for another five minutes, letting the sauce boil so that it thickens and reduces.
Turn off the heat. Add the sesame seeds and the scallion greens.
Serve and enjoy.
NOTE - If you want to only make the sauce, you may. It will last you for two weeks in the fridge, in a closed container.

Still full of sugar, fructose from pineapple and glucose from honey. ZERO difference.

Hi there! I think there is a nutritional difference between processed sugar and honey. I agree that it still has natural sugar but I don't agree that it is ZERO difference. Thanks for stopping by!
