Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (you can use canned, but fresh is best)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup diced carrots
• 1/2 cup peas
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional)
• 1/2 tsp curry powder (optional, for an extra kick)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cashews or roasted peanuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Rice: If using fresh rice, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool and dry slightly. If using day-old rice, break up any clumps.
2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
3. Add Carrots and Peas: Toss in the carrots and peas, cooking until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch.
4. Mix in Pineapple: Stir in the pineapple chunks and cook for a couple of minutes until they start to caramelize slightly.
5. Combine with Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan, stirring everything together until well mixed. Pour in the soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and curry powder. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, making sure the rice is evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Season and Garnish: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and garnish with cashews or roasted peanuts if you like.
7. Serve: Serve warm, and enjoy your tropical escape!

Let me know if you give it a try!

hi everyone! I think pineapple rice sounds delicious! Though, I’d probably add some veggies and a bit of soy sauce for extra flavor.
