Chicken Pineapple

[Vagus]

Had a trip down memory lane earlier, reminiscing about our treat of the month from the Chinese chippy when we were first married..chicken pineapple..and now I MUST have some!
Been looking online but wondered if anyone has a recommendation for one they make. I don’t want to put tomato of any description in the sauce which some recipes call for. Some put hoi sin in, which I do have and like.
Thanks.

Re the above recipe...I'd never use olive oil in a stir-fry (or paprika).
When I've made this dish, I've used button mushrooms and the sauce is pineapple juice and light soy, adding a little sesame oil at the end.

this one - and Shaoxing wine is on the shelves of Waitrose if you don't have a local Chinese market - it's better than sherry as it's tarter....

Oh thanks for your answers, only just looked in and have already made it.
I used rice wine, rice wine vinegar, dark soya sauce, ground ginger as I don’t have any fresh, and pineapple juice from the tinned pineapple.
It’s bubbling away with the chopped up chicken thighs, 2 chopped onions, chopped tinned pineapple and a red pepper. I may add some cornflour when it’s done just to thicken it a bit but I have to say it’s a very tasty sauce.

I have to say that sounds rather nice!

as a heads up you can buy tubes of fresh ginger that keep in the fridge for ages

This one is lovely too:

Blow me down, APG you’ve just reminded me I have a tube of the very stuff in the fridge door shoved behind a few jars...thanks for the reminder :)

Apart from the tomato in it, which I think overwhelms everything in a sweet and sour sauce.

There are no Tomatoes in that recipe Vagus -unless you mean the ketchup?

[Vagus]

Yes, APG, I did mean the ketchup. I find the same if it’s tomato purée too, to my palate it makes the main taste tomato rather than the sweet/sour thing, which I love.
