Ingredients
- 1½ lbs frozen plain meatballs not with Italian seasoning
- ½ cup brown sugar packed

- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 ½ TBS soy sauce
- 2 ½ cups pineapple juice
- 1 ½ TBS cornstarch
- 1 ½ teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
- 1 cup pineapple chunks without the juice
- Your favorite rice - I make 4 cups for 4 people.
Instructions

- Whisk cornstarch into the reserved pineapple juice.
- Whisk cornstarch mixture into hot mixture.
