Pineapple Fried Rice

Hello, my friends! I know these are trying times, and my heart goes out to all those affected by the coronavirus and quarantine process. In light of the chaos, I wanted to shift gears to share some positive and relevant content to help you get through the days! Since a lot of us have some extra time on our hands, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite dishes and recipes with my mom. She is a professional chef so you guys are in for a treat!

I will be posting the videos on my Instagram stories or IGTV so be sure to follow along there.

For the first recipe, I wanted to share a homemade version of everyone's favorite take-out classic: pineapple fried rice! This easy, one-skillet recipe that’s ready in 20 minutes and better (and healthier) than takeout in my opinion. Your kids will love it too! It’s such an easy and healthy weeknight dinner you can whip up in no time and the leftovers are great for lunches.

Note: if you're not a pineapple person, just leave that ingredient out!

Cook's Tip:

  • Use leftover or overnight steamed jasmine rice for this recipe. This will ensure that the rice is grainy and not mushy.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the most delicious flavors.
  • Serve the dish with fresh lime wedges. Squeeze the fresh lime on the rice before serving.

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons oil (we love coconut oil)
  • 1 cup diced yellow onions, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 Chinese sausages, diced (optional but highly recommend)
  • 2 chicken breast or 6 medium prawns, diced
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 6 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably several days old)

  • 2 cups diced pineapple, canned or fresh
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • lime, to garnish
  • cilantro, to garnish
  • salt & pepper to taste

Direction:

  1. Heat up a wok and add cooking oil. Stir-fry the garlic, onion, and Chinese sausage (if using) until aromatic.
  2. Add chicken/shrimp and 3 tablespoons oyster sauce, stir until cooked. Transfer protein on a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon oil, then add the egg and scramble slightly. When the egg is halfway cooked, add the rice and toss to mix.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, the cooked shrimp/chicken, & mixed veggies and cook for a few minutes.
  5. Add the pineapple and sliced scallions to the rice and stir to distribute.
  6. Serve immediately with some lime juice and cilantro.
