Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks; 1/2 cup soy sauce; 2 tbsp honey; 1 tbsp ginger paste; 1 tbsp rice vinegar; 3 tbsp minced garlic; 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks in juice; 1/4 tsp MSG; 2 tbsp cornstarch; 1/4 cup water; 2 tbsp cooking oil; 2 tbsp sesame oil; 1 shooter (50 ml) bourbon; Cooked white rice, for serving; Steamed green beans, for serving; Sesame seeds, for garnish

1

Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving the juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, ginger paste, rice vinegar, and minced garlic to create the sauce.

2

In a separate bowl, toss the chicken chunks with a few tablespoons of the prepared sauce and the MSG, if using.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

4

Heat cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until mostly browned and cooked through.

5

Add the drained pineapple chunks to the wok and stir to combine.

6

Pour in the remaining sauce, followed by the cornstarch slurry. Stir well to combine.

7

Drizzle in the sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

8

Pour in the bourbon and continue to simmer for another minute to cook off the alcohol.

9

Serve immediately over cooked white rice with a side of steamed green beans, and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
