Da Fry
Add chicken to a medium bowl and add 2 tbsp sauce, stir well
Cover and marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a wok/pan on medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Add the chicken to the pan and stir fry the chicken pieces until it's cooked through (about 3 to 4 minutes). (TAKE CARE, the marinade can burn)
Once cooked, remove to a plate and cover.
Add a slight drizzle of additional oil to the pan, and add the veggies, stir fry until the broccoli is tender-crisp (3-4 minutes)
Add the pineapple chunks and chicken back to the pan. Toss to combine well
Stir the sauce one more time, add to the pan, and toss to coat well.
The sauce should turn thick and glossy. Continue to mix everything together until the sauce thickens and coats everything well and then remove it from the heat.
Serve over rice.
This dish can go many ways, pork, shrimp, tofu. (I'd freeze the tofu, thence pan fry for a crisp texture).
The veggies have so many options, green beans, aubergine strips, snap peas, mushrooms, julienned carrots, cauliflower florets, etc ...
Adjust the hot sauce to match your level of spice. Ditto the hot pepper.
