Aloha Rice

Something a bit different. Since I recently changed my mind and embraced pineapple on pizza this recipe appealed. It's kind of sweet, the soy is prominent. I served with chicken wings because who doesn't like double chicken? Will definitely make again.

• 1/2 cup soy sauce

• 1 tsp garlic, minced
