Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp oil (divided)
  • 1 tsp garlic (minced )
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (minced )

Notes

  • Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu to make it vegetarian.
  • If fresh pineapple is out of season, use canned pineapple.
  • Omit the chili pepper for a milder dish.
  • Add snap peas, broccoli, carrots, or onion for extra veggies.
  • I highly recommend using the fish sauce as it doesn’t taste fishy and adds a more complex flavor, but if you prefer not to, sub it with soy sauce.
