Method
  1. To make the sauce, whisk the pineapple juice and cornflour in a small bowl until there are no lumps. Add the soy sauce and vinegar and stir. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Heat oil over a medium heat in a frying pan. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  3. Add chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes, stirring continuously until the chicken is starting to brown.
  4. Add vegetables a little at a time. Start with the denser vegetables that will take longer to cook (such as carrot and cauliflower).
  5. Stir through the sauce and pineapple pieces. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Serve with rice.
Notes

Choose vegetables that are in season, they will be cheaper and fresher. If you don’t have fresh vegetables on hand, a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables works well in this recipe.
