Tips:

  • Use day-old rice. This will help the rice stay fluffy and separate when fried.
  • Cut the pineapple and other vegetables into small, uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. This will help prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Cook the rice over high heat, stirring constantly. This will help the rice get slightly browned and crispy.
  • Add the vegetables and pineapple towards the end of cooking. This will help them retain their crunch.
  • Season the rice to taste with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, ginger powder, or chili flakes, to taste.
  • Serve the pineapple fried rice immediately, garnished with green onions and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Pineapple fried rice is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its sweet and savory flavor, pineapple fried rice is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
