Jerk Fried Rice Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare rice and mise en place

   If using day-old rice, break up any clumps with a fork and spread on a tray to dry slightly. Gather jerk seasoning, vegetables, eggs, soy sauce, pineapple, lime, and garnishes so everything is ready to go.

2. 2

   Bloom jerk seasoning

   Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Stir in jerk seasoning and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. 3

   Sauté aromatics and vegetables

   Add onion to the pan; sauté until translucent. Add garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in red bell pepper and carrot; cook 2–3 minutes until just softened.

4. 4

   Scramble eggs

   Push vegetables to the side, pour beaten eggs into the space, and scramble until just set. Then mix with vegetables.

5. 5

   Fry rice with pineapple and peas

   Add the cooled rice and pineapple chunks; stir-fry, breaking up any remaining clumps. Add peas and continue to stir-fry for 2–3 minutes. Add soy sauce and mix until evenly seasoned.

6. 6

   Finish and garnish

   Stir in sliced green onions and lime juice. Drizzle with sesame oil, adjust seasoning with salt if needed, and serve hot.
