Ingredients

  • 1 tsp garlic chopped
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots grated
  • ½ cup of frozen corn
  • ½ cup of frozen peas
  • 4 cups rice cooked
  • 1 ½ cups of pineapple, canned or fresh diced
  • 2 tbsp. spring onions chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp. soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • ½ tsp ginger powder
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

  • If you’re using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet to cool it down. Day-old rice works best since it has a firmer texture.
  • Peel and dice the onion, grate the carrots, and chop the spring onions.
  • Mix together soya sauce, sesame oil, ginger powder, and white pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Toss in the grated carrots, corn, and peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Sprinkle salt.
  • Add the spring onions and sauté for a couple of seconds. Then put in the cooled rice and diced pineapple. (You can add more bite-sized pineapple chunks if you like a sweeter version).
  • Pour in the soya sauce mixture. Stir everything together for about 2 minutes, ensuring the rice is mixed thoroughly with the vegetables and pineapple.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions before serving
  • Serve Sweet and Savoury Vegetarian Pineapple Fried Rice hot.
