This was a good recipe. I gave it three stars because I liked it an will make it again with one modification...I made as written but felt like it was missing something and since there is no amount for the pineapple I used a large 20oz can. I found the pineapple to be over powering; but like I said, you didn't give an amount. You also didn't tell us what type of vinegar. There are many types...I used white and I think this is the way to go. I doubled the rest of the ingredients and added 2 Tbsp ketchup. I think the ketchup is what brought this around for me. I also used green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and thin sliced carrot as this is what the Chinese restaurants use. I then tossed in fried popcorn chicken and served it with Jasmine rice. All in all very good and I'll make it again. I took off one star simply because this isn't a 5 star recipe by nature and another star for the fact that the recipe wasn't clear and it did need some touching up to bring it up to "very good" IMHO. Thanks for posting.

The only complaint my picky BF had about this sauce is that I didn't make enough! This was delicious. I served it over homemade meatballs and rice and we were literally scraping the bottom of the pan to get the last bits! I didn't have cornstarch on hand but the consistency was still great. I left out the red pepper but I did stir in a tablespoon of chinese chili sauce (we like it spicy) and it was perfect. Thanks!
