ingredients

• 2 cups instant brown rice (about 4 cups cooked)
• 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits or (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
• 1⁄3 cup water or 1/3 cup all-natural chicken broth
• 1⁄3 cup light teriyaki sauce

directions

1. Cook the rice according to package directions. Set aside. Drain the juice from the pineapple into a bowl. Add the water, teriyaki, vinegar, peanut butter as desired, and cornstarch and whisk until well blended. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat, add the vegetables and ginger, and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and pineapple and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Re-whisk the pineapple juice mixture and add to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer and stir gently until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Serve over rice.
