3 tbsp brown sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.

1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water

For the stir-fry

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 ½ cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks (about 1-inch pieces), drained if canned
3 green onions, sliced (green tops only for garnish)

For serving

2 cups cooked long-grain white rice, for serving
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with the salt and black pepper.
