Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice

  • 2 cups water

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

  • 1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and minced

  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1/2 pound store-bought cooked barbecue Chinese-style pork, cut into 1-inch pieces (see note)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1/4 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce

Directions

  1. Add jasmine rice and water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered for 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 more minutes.

  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat. Add the ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds. Add the pork and the pineapple and cook until they are hot, about 2 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and chili-garlic sauce.
