Thai - Sweet and Sour Chicken or Shrimp

Sweet and Sour Chicken/shrimp
Serves 4
Ingredients;
-Cucumber, 1 cut into rough 1” chunks
-Pineapple chunks, 1 can
-Pineapple juice, 1 can
-Tomato sauce, 1 small can
-Tomato, 2 cut into rough 1” chunks
-Onions, 1, cut into 1” chunks length wise
-Green and red bell peppers, 2, cut into rough 1” chunks
-Salt ½ t
-Fish sauce, 8-10 squirts
-Tapioca flour rue
-Shrimp/chicken, desired amount

Add pineapple chunks and tomato paste to large sauce pan, let simmer for 10 minutes.

Add fish sauce, salt, and msg. Season to taste.

Add meat, and cook until medium done.

Add vegetables, bring to a boil, and add tapioca flour rue until you have reached desired thickness.

Mom likes to add chicken stock, or shrimp stock by using the shrimp shells. I had to add extra pineapple juice, the pineapple/tomato sauce/fish sauce mixture is key.
