How do I prepare the pineapple for serving?

Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and scoop out the center, leaving about an inch around the perimeter to create a natural bowl. Save the scooped-out fruit for another use.

What kind of meatless strips are recommended for this recipe?

You can use a package of store-bought meatless beef or chicken strips, or opt for homemade seitan strips for a customized texture and flavor.

Can I make the teriyaki sauce ahead of time?

Yes, the teriyaki sauce can be mixed and reduced ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat before adding to the sauteed meatless strips.

What can I do with the scooped-out pineapple?

The scooped-out pineapple can be saved for another use, such as adding to smoothies, fruit salads, or even a different stir-fry for a touch of sweetness.

How should I serve these Teriyaki Pineapple Bowls?

Fill each pineapple half with white jasmine rice on one side and the teriyaki meatless strips on the other. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or green onions and serve immediately.

How to Prepare Teriyaki Pineapple Bowls [Vegan]

In a bowl mix together soy sauce, vinegar, hoisin, orange juice, sugar, and minced garlic. Add to a small sauce pan over medium-low heat and reduce by half.
In a different skillet, sauté 'meat' strips for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned. Pour over sauce and cook for 5 minutes to let the sauce thicken on the 'meat.'
While your 'meat' cooks cut your pineapple in half and scoop out the center leaving about a inch around the perimeter. Save the insides for another use!
Fill your pineapple boats with rice on one side and teriyaki “beef” on the other. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, garnish with cilantro or green onions, and serve immediately.
