Island Tuna And Pineapple - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (13 1/2 ounce) can pineapple chunks
    1/4 cup vinegar
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons soy sauce
    1/2 cup water
    2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
    2 teaspoons peanut oil or 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    1 medium onion, chopped into large pieces (about 3/4 inch)
    2 medium green peppers, chopped into large pieces (about 3/4 inch)
    1 (7 ounce) can solid white tuna, drained and broken into large chunks
    1 medium tomatoes, sliced into wedges (optional)
    1 1/2 cups hot cooked rice (or amount preferred for personal taste)
Preparation
    Drain the canned pineapple chunks, reserving the juice.
    In a bowl, combine the juice from the pineapple, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, water and cornstarch. Whisk together very well until smooth, then set aside.
    In a wok or large frying pan, heat oil on medium high heat until very hot. Add onion and pepper and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add pineapple chunks and stir-fry for about another 30 seconds. Add tuna and stir-fry gently for about another 15 seconds.
    Stir reserved liquid mixture again, then pour over tuna pineapple mixture. Stir gently to combine, bring to a boil, and cook just until thickened.
    If desired, stir in tomato wedges until heated through.
    Serve on hot cooked rice.
