 Jim McNulty (California) says:
Very tasty and very easy to make. Used fresh pineapple instead of canned. Grated some fresh ginger into the sweet and sour sauce, a couple of scallions, a small summer squash, lots of sweet red bell pepper, and served it over steamed brown rice.
My wife loved it and it is one the "make again" recipe list.
