Exploring New Flavors: Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry

I’m excited to share a unique recipe with you today that blends sweet and savory flavors in a delightful stir-fry dish. As the seasons change, I find myself craving dishes that are both comforting and refreshing, making this Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry the perfect option for a cozy night at home.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• chicken breast (400g)
• fresh pineapple chunks (200g)
• red bell pepper, sliced (150g)
• snow peas (100g)
• minced garlic (2 cloves)
• fresh ginger, grated (1 tbsp)
• soy sauce (3 tbsp)
• teriyaki sauce (2 tbsp)
• brown sugar (1 tbsp)
• cornstarch (1 tbsp)
• sesame oil (1 tbsp)
• vegetable oil for cooking

To prepare this dish, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• wok
• chopping board
• knife
• measuring spoons
• measuring cup
• tongs
• whisk

Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

In a separate bowl, make a slurry by combining cornstarch with a little water and whisking until smooth. This will be used later to thicken the sauce for the stir-fry.

Heat some vegetable oil in a wok over high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, then remove it from the wok and set it aside.

In the same wok, add a bit more oil and sauté the red bell pepper and snow peas until they are slightly tender. Add the fresh pineapple chunks and continue cooking for a few more minutes until the pineapple caramelizes slightly.

Return the cooked chicken to the wok and pour in the slurry mixture. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to thicken. Finish off the dish with a drizzle of sesame oil for added flavor.

The total weight of the cooked Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry is approximately 900g, with 4 servings at 225g each. One serving of this dish is around 350 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of pineapple juice to the sauce for an extra burst of tropical flavor. This simple addition elevates the dish and adds a delicious twist to the traditional teriyaki stir-fry.

I encourage you to give this Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry a try and make it your own by experimenting with different vegetables or protein options. Enjoy the fusion of flavors in this delightful dish!
