Pineapple Fried Rice

I know pineapple can be a controversial ingredient (where are my pineapple pizza fans at??), but trust me, you are going to love it in this fried rice. Fried rice is a very savory and salty dish and I just love the little bursts of sweet and tart pineapple flavor to balance everything out. I find when I am cooking or eating at a restaurant, the best dishes have a little taste of everything – sweet, savory or umami, salty, bitter, and sour.

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Start by cooking your rice. I like to cook the rice in my rice cooker and get everything else ready while it is in there.
• Next, heat your oil and saute the onions and garlic. The onions should be tender and translucent and the garlic should be slightly browned.
• After the onions and garlic are cooked, add the peas and carrots, and pineapple. If your peas and carrots are frozen they might pop in the hot oil, so be careful when adding them. Cook until the veggies are tender and heated through.
• Next, add in the beaten eggs. I like to make a hole in the middle of the pan by pushing all the veggies to the side and then pouring the eggs into the middle. That way it doesn’t coat everything in egg.
• After the eggs are cooked, add in your rice and soy sauce. Add the soy sauce a little bit at a time, making sure to taste it so you don’t make it too salty. Serve immediately.
