Method
1. Slice the chicken into 1cm strips. Roughly chop the onion.

2. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Add the pineapple (with juice) and cook for 2 minutes.

3. Add the onions, stir and cook for 4 minutes.

4. Add the chicken, soy sauce, brandy and cashew nuts. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally (this will take about 8-10 minutes).

5. Add the sesame oil, stir. Mix the cornflour with a little water, and add to the pan. Stir thoroughly, and simmer for a further 2 minutes. Serve.


Delicious served with egg noddles: cook them as described on the packet, and then toss them in a little light soy sauce.
The cashew nuts are optional - if you omit them, add a little salt in step 5.
