T_T not much appetite lately....

The pineapple chicken was really easy and tasty. Its not much of a recipe but I included it anyways. I apologize, there are no quantities.

Pineapple Chicken
Chicken breast cut into to small strips
canned Pineapple + juice
teriyaki sauce
sesame oil
katakuriko/potato starch/cornstarch/rice flour

In a saute pan pour in a little sesame oil and heat up. Add the chicken and cook it quickly so that the outside browns nicely but the inside isnt quite done. Pour a bit of pineapple juice in the pan and cook it down. Do this a few times. The quantity of juice added should not lower the heat of the pan too much and should reduce in about a minute or so. Remove the chicken and pineapple from the pan. Again pour some pineapple juice in the pan but this time more. Then add several spoons of teriyaki sauce (I have homemade teriyaki sauce that is pre-partially reduced) and stir quickly. In a small bowl add a tiny bit of potato starch (too much will make the sauce icky instead of pleasantly thickened) and water. Stir that into the pineapple teriyaki mixture and cook till thickened. Should take like... 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken and tada~!
