Method

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. In bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce and 3 slices of the ginger; add chicken, stirring to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate chicken mixture for up to 12 hours.)

Sauce: Meanwhile, reserving juice, drain pineapple. Cut slices into quarters; set aside. In bowl, combine 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the pineapple juice, starch and brown sugar, adding more sugar if desired. Add pineapple.

In wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry remaining ginger for 30 seconds. Add chicken mixture; stir-fry for 3 minutes.

Add pineapple mixture and remaining pineapple juice. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until thickened and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
