Pineapple Fried Rice
This rice is perfect for the summer! It’s tropical and such a quick recipe to whip up for a barbecue or get together. It tastes delicious with BBQ tempeh, chicken, ribs, really anything! I also love fried rice dishes because they are so versatile with the vegetable and other add-ins! This recipe would be great with carrots, toasted cashews, kale, eggs, and any other veggies you love! The pineapple is such a pleasant, juicy flavor to accompany your BBQ meal!
Ingredients:
-1.5 cups uncooked brown rice
-3 cups water
-½ cup coconut milk (Can substitute water)
-¼ tsp salt
-1 tbsp olive oil
-½ red onion diced
-1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
-1 cup chopped pineapple (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup frozen peas
-3 cloves of garlic minced
-Juice from 1 lime
-2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions:
Rinse the uncooked brown rice and drain liquid to remove any excess starch.
Add the rice, water, coconut milk and salt together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 45 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the water. Set aside.
Add olive oil to a wok or saute pan over medium heat. Saute the red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add in the pineapple and garlic and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add in the peas, lime juice and soy sauce and stir. Cook for about 3 minutes until the peas are softened.
Add in the rice and mix until all ingredients are well combined. Enjoy!
