Method

step 1
Heat a splash of sunflower oil in a large pan or wok over a medium-high heat. Add the onion (1), yellow pepper (1) and red pepper (1) and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they just start to soften. Add the garlic (3 cloves) and ginger (1 piece) and cook for a further minute, then remove from the pan and set aside.
step 2
Add the chicken (3) to the same pan and cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the tomatoes (4). Cook for a further 5 minutes, until they’ve broken down and reduced. Stir in the pineapple (350 g), peppers and onion.
step 3
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce (1/2 tbsp), vinegar (1 1/2 tbsp), honey (1 tbsp) and cornflour (1/2 tbsp). Tip into the pan and mix well, cooking for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add a little water if needed.
step 4
Cook the rice (300 g) according to pack instructions. Divide the stir-fry between serving dishes. Serve alongside the rice, with the spring onions (4) scattered on top.
