Description

A delightful mix of sweet pineapple and savory fried rice, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked day-old jasmine rice
  • 1 to cups pineapple chunks
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup total peas and carrots
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • ⅓ cup cashews or peanuts (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons oil


Instructions

  1. In a hot skillet or wok, sauté garlic and onions in oil until fragrant.
  2. Toss in peas and pineapple chunks, allowing the pineapple to brown slightly.
  3. Push everything to the side, scramble the eggs, then stir all together.
