To drain or not to drain?
I am making this:
Sweet and sour Chicken
1 can pineapple (chunks in natural juice)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 3/4 lb. chicken breast-skinned, cut in small pieces
1 med. onion, thinly sliced
1 med. green bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
4 c. hot cooked rice
SAUCE:
4 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. rice wine vinegar
1/4 c. chicken broth
2 tbsp. catsup
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. dry sherry
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
a pinch of salt
a dab of hot chilli sauce
or red pepper flakes
combine the sauce and set aside
Stir fry garlic and chicken in hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in center-about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Stir fry onion and bell pepper in oil until tender crisp to bite (about 2 minutes). Return chicken to pan. Add sweet and sour sauce to pan with pineapple chunks. Stir until sauce boils and thickens.
Move to serving dish. Serve with steaming white rice.
Do I drain the pineapple chunks or add them with their juice?
I think I am going to drain the chunks and reserve the liquid for some drinks. LOL

drain the pineapple...save it just in case you think it needs to be thinner when your dish is finished...then add a bit of pineapple juice if neccessary

in case you have a drain that has the stopper it is activated with a lever on the overflow located on the tip of the bathtub above the drain, you would be waiting to get rid of the stopper mechanism. The build up could be on the stopper itself. If no longer, then run a snake down the outlet for the overflow and clean the limit. in case you have get entry to to the bathtub drain catch, now and returned those may be taken aside and wiped clean. sturdy success.

No juice just the pineapple and the sweet and sour sauce should make this dish rock!

Drain the juice but leave the chunks. Save the juice though, so you ca use it to sweeten the sauce

Nornally I would say drain, but read the directions. It says you need to boil until it thickens. With out the juice there is not liquid to boil, so in thwe case you do Not drain.
