Made it for supper tonight, with basmati rice. I enjoyed it, though the combination of the soy sauce, vinegar, pineapple and cilantro was a bit strange. The sweet/sour/spicy all at once was a bit overwhelming for me. My father loved it.

I did it with fresh pineapple and jazmin Rice and tasted even better.
