Hawaiian Haystacks

I got this recipe from Susan V. she made it for Sunday dinner last week. The sauce is what makes it different and good.


Hawaiian Haystacks
Base:
Rice
Crunchy Chow Mien Noodles

Toppings:
Cooked and cutup chicken
shredded cheese
pineapple tidbits
cubed ham
celery
tomatoes
green peppers
olives
green onion
coconut
almonds
etc.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

Mix
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic
1/s tsp. ginger
2 Tbl. cornstarch
then add:
1/2 C vinegar (apple-cider vinegar or white)
1/3 C pineapple juice (use the juice from the can of pineapple tidbits) (tidbits is a weird word)
1/3 C water
2 tsp. soy sauce

Heat until thickened (you can do it in the microwave for 4-5 minutes)

You can put the cooked cut up chicken right into the sweet and sour sauce and then just served that over the top of rice and then everyone can put on whatever other toppings they like. It was delicious!
