[Guest guest]

I made this a few weeks ago, and the end result was delicious. I used Wehani

rice as the grain.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 large onion -- cut into eighths

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 19 oz can unsweetened pineapple chunks with their

juice

1 green bell pepper -- seeded and cut into 1-inch squares

1 red bell pepper -- seede and cut into 1-inch squares

1/4 cup cider vinegar or rice vinegaar

1/3 cup light unbleached sugar or grade A light

maple syrup

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons cornstarch or wheat starch dissoved in 2

tablespoons cold water

Choose 1 of the following:

2 1/2 cups dry textured soy protein chunks

OR

12 to 16 ounces Oven-Fried Tofu -- cut in half or thirds

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (supposed to be 3rd

item)

 

If you are using the textured soy chunks, reconstitute in 2 1/2 cups boiling

water, either soaking or simmering until tender. Drain well and pat dry. Roll

in flour or cornstarch, and bake in single layers on dark cookie sheets at 500F

for about 7 minutes. (Dark cookie sheets brown foods better.) Then turn over and

bake the other side for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden all over.

 

In a large, lightly oiled wok or heavy skillet, steam-fry the onion, garlic, and

ginger over high heat, stirring constantly and adding drops of water if

necessary to keep the vegetables from sticking. When the onion begins to become

slightly translucent, add the pineapple, peppers, sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and

soy sauce, and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the soy protein chunks or

oven-fried tofu and dissolved cornstarch, and cook over high heat until the

sauce thickens and the soy chunks or tofu are heated through, about 2 minutes.

Serve immediately over rice.
