For a richer flavor, consider using freshly squeezed pineapple juice. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the pineapple. Feel free to add other vegetables such as broccoli florets or chunks of red bell pepper for added color and nutrition. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
