This stir-fried pineapple fried rice side dish is both naturally sweet and savory! Garlic and fresh ginger keep it light in flavor, and the veggies add a pop of color. A great way to use up leftover white rice.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ½ cup diced sweet onion

  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger root

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks

  • ½ diced red bell pepper

  • ⅓ cup thawed frozen peas

  • 2 cups cold, cooked white rice

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onion

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil for about 1 minute. Add ginger and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

  2. Increase heat to medium-high; add pineapple, red bell pepper, and peas. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and soy sauce; cook until sauce is well incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in sesame oil and remove from heat.

  3. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds before serving.

Cook’s Note

This comes together quickly, so get all of your ingredients prepped before you start cooking.

To make grating ginger root easier, freeze for about 1 hour.

Perfect alongside chicken and beef, but equally good with salmon, shrimp, or scallops.
