1 cup teriyaki sauce
1/3 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
2 tablespoons minced green onions
2 cups (1 1/2-inch pieces) long beans or fresh, young green beans
1 pound fresh or frozen, peeled and deveined shrimp
cooked rice
toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Whisk together teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, vinegar, and hot sauce. Mix into cornstarch and set aside.

In saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon oil, and sauté ginger. Add pineapple chunks and green onion and heat until pineapple begins to brown. Stir occasionally. Add teriyaki-pineapple mixture and long beans. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

In a separate heavy skillet or wok, heat remaining oil and sauté shrimp until they just turn pink. Add to sauce and remove from heat. Serve over a bed of rice, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.


Fun Fact: Alaska joined the Union on January 3, 1959, as the 49th state; the land was purchased from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million, about 2 cents per acre. The New York Tribune called it "Seward's Folly" after Secretary of State Seward, criticizing a purchase of this worthless, frozen territory. Other newspapers praised the acquisition. Today its oil revenues bring in more in one day than the entire cost of the purchase.

Hawaii, the 50th state, joined the United States on August 21, 1959; it had been annexed as a territory in 1898.
