Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine (mirin)
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 4 ounces canned tidbits pineapple, drained and juice reserved
  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon safflower or sunflower oil
  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 pound crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 4 teaspoons arrowroot powder
  • 3/4 cup toasted cashew pieces
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice

Directions

Combine tamari, mirin, garlic and reserved pineapple juice. Marinate chicken thighs in the mixture for 30 minutes.

Preheat a wok or large frying pan over high heat and add oil. Briefly stir-fry each vegetable separately, until tender-crisp and brightly colored. Stir-fry pineapple last, until it’s hot and slightly caramelized.

Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Stir-fry chicken until almost done, at least 5 minutes.

Lower the heat to medium-high. Mix reserved marinade with arrowroot. Return vegetables to the wok and add marinade. Heat the sauce until it thickens; add toasted cashews.

Stir in cooked rice and serve.
