Notes
Storage and Reheating
This will keep well in the fridge for 2 or 3 days. Reheat over medium-low heat.Swaps for Time-Pressed Cooks
This is going to be extra delicious when made with fresh ginger, fresh pineapple, and fresh tomatoes. However, if you're pressed for time, you can use dried ginger, canned pineapple chunks, and canned tomatoes. Drain the pineapple and tomato before adding. I usually use diced canned tomatoes, but if you just have whole canned tomatoes, chop them into bite-sized pieces first. I haven't tried tomato sauce, but that might be worth experimenting with.Nutritional Information
