Here’s a crucial tip: don’t use hot rice!! This is the perfect dish to use on that day old rice you have lying around in the fridge. I highly recommend using short grain brown rice- it gives it a sumptuous, chewy texture.

pineapple-fried-rice
- 1 red onion
- 1 T sesame oil
- 1 T braggs
- 2 c rice
- 3 c pineapple
- 1 tomato
- 2 T raisins
- 1 t curry powder
- 1/2 t turmeric
- 1/8 t salt
- 1/8 t pepper
- 2 T cilantro
Pineapple Fried Rice Directions
- In a large saucepan or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until the onions become translucent. Add this point, add the Braggs/soy sauce, rice, pineapple, tomato, raisins, curry and turmeric. Reduce heat to medium. Mix thoroughly and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently (a wooden rice paddle works extremely well!). If you want a fruitier rice, add some of your reserved pineapple liquid at this point- it will infuse the rice with an extra bit of tropical flavor. Once all the ingredients are heated through. Season with your salt and pepper, and serve with a pretty sprinkling of cilantro.
