Ingredients
2
cups
of day-old jasmine rice
1
cup
of fresh pineapple chunks
2
eggs
beaten
1
cup
mixed vegetables
peas, diced carrots, and bell peppers
3
tablespoons
of soy sauce
2
tablespoons
of vegetable oil
3
green onions
sliced
2
cloves
of garlic
minced
½
cup
of cashews
optional
½
teaspoon
of white pepper
optional
Fresh cilantro for garnish
optional
½
cup
of cooked chicken or shrimp
optional
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and scramble until just set. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant.
Add the mixed vegetables and sauté until just tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the rice and cooked egg to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and stir everything together.
Add the pineapple chunks, cashews, and white pepper (if using). Stir and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Stir in green onions, and optionally, cooked chicken or shrimp. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot in bowls or a hollowed-out pineapple half.
Notes
Use cold, day-old rice to prevent it from being mushy and sticking together.
If using fresh pineapple, utilize the hollowed-out shell as a vibrant serving bowl.
Adjust the soy sauce and any additional salt sparingly at first; you can always add more later.
Sauté the vegetables until they’re just tender to maintain a pleasant crunch.
Consider adding proteins like shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a more substantial dish.
