Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
  2. When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
  3. Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
  4. Remove and set the ham aside.
  5. Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
  6. When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
  7. When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
  8. Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
  9. Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
  10. Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
  11. Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!
