Succulent ginger pineapple fried rice, a flavorful side dish for shrimp, pork, or chicken, using leftover rice.
Ingredients:
  • 5 cups leftover cooked basmati rice (from 2 cups raw rice)*
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil , canola oil, or cooking oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh peeled ginger , finely minced
  • 5 green onions, separated white and light green parts and dark green parts, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup (1/4 inch cubes) fresh pineapple, diced (see How to Cut Pineapple )
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce if cooking gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions:
  • In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat a tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add the ginger, white, and pale green parts of the green onions. Season with salt and stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Prepare the rice: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and add the cooked, leftover rice, breaking it up as you sprinkle it in. Allow the rice to fry undisturbed until it begins to brown, then stir and cook for another minute or two.
  • Add chopped pineapple, sliced green onion greens, soy sauce, and sesame oil off the heat. Season with salt to taste and enjoy! Recipe inspiration from Gourmet Magazine.
