Most recipes for pineapple chicken yield a gloppy sweet sauce that would be better served as dessert. For this recipe we infuse the sauce with plenty of fresh ginger to add brightness and heat. By cooking the pineapple separately from the chicken we are able to dry out the surface of the fruit to caramelize the sugars found naturally in the pineapple. This step meant we didn’t have to add any additional sugar other than a touch of fresh fruit juice.

This was our very first meal in our Suvie. We went light on the soy sauce because we couldn’t find mirin. It was delicious! A complete success!
