Instructions
Prepare the sauce:
- Step 1
Whisk together the soy sauce, water, honey, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, mirin, and grated ginger. Set aside with the cornstarch slurry.
Prepare the chicken:
- Step 2
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and toss with the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a zip top bag.
- Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in a single layer in the skillet to brown. Turn over when it releases easily from the pan, about 1-2 minutes, and continue to cook another 2 minutes on the other side.
- Step 4
If the pan seems dry, add another 1-2 tablespoons of oil, then add the red bell pepper, and sauté 2-3 minutes more.
- Step 5
Add the pineapple to the pan. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the teriyaki sauce, and pour it into the skillet, and stir until it coats the chicken mixture.
- Step 6
Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes more. Remove from heat. Serve over rice or quinoa with the chopped scallions and cashews, and enjoy!
