A delicious combination of three contrasting tastes – sweet pineapple juice, salty soy sauce, and hot red pepper flakes – makes this an excellent choice for marinating chicken or seafood, and can add a zingy punch to rice dishes. After using this as a marinade, it can also do double-duty as a sauce. Bring it to a boil, then reduce it by half. Drizzle over what you have just marinated and serve.
