Base Ingredients

Vegetables

Flavorings

Protein (optional)

Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse 2 cups of Jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Stir-frying Ingredients

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add 1 cup of diced bell pepper, 1 cup of green peas, and 1 diced carrot. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 6

    Add Protein (if using)

    If using shrimp, add 1 cup of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  5. 7

    Add Pineapple

    Stir in 1 cup of pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. 8

    Incorporate Rice

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Seasoning and Finishing Touches

  1. 9

    Add Seasonings

    Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings.

  2. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Finally, stir in the sliced green onions and remove from heat. Serve the Pineapple Fried Rice hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
