Description

A vibrant, flavorful dish that marries the sweetness of fresh pineapple with jasmine rice, vegetables, and a satisfying crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups jasmine rice, cooked and cooled
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup cashews or peanuts
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cilantro or additional green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions and let it cool completely.
  2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and red bell pepper; sauté until onion is translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Push vegetables to one side and scramble the beaten eggs on the other side until fully cooked, then mix with vegetables.
  4. Stir in the cooled jasmine rice, mixing well with sautéed vegetables and eggs.
  5. Add pineapple, green peas, cashews, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and curry powder. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

  7. Stir in sliced green onions and remove from heat.
  8. Serve in bowls, garnished with cilantro or extra green onions if desired.

Notes

For best results, use day-old rice to prevent the dish from becoming mushy. Customize with proteins or adjust sweetness as preferred.
