Pineapple Fried Rice Tasty and Easy Homemade Delight

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
• 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced (reserve some for garnish)
• 1 cup mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green), diced
• 0.5 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or a vegetarian alternative)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• to taste salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• optional garnish: chopped cilantro and lime wedges

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing your cooked rice. If using fresh rice, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool for about 15-20 minutes to prevent stickiness.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the diced bell peppers and peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
4. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil, and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then mix with the vegetables.
5. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, then mix everything thoroughly.
6. Gently fold in the diced pineapple and chopped green onions, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with sesame oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with reserved pineapple pieces, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
