Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 unit small onion, diced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 unit red bell pepper, diced
• 1 unit carrot, diced
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 units green onions, sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Dice the onion and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the carrot into small cubes. If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up for about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, diced red bell pepper, and chopped carrot. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables have softened slightly.

Step 5

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the rice.

Step 6

To the rice and vegetable mix, add the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, ground white pepper, and frozen peas. Stir continuously for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Fold in the pineapple chunks and mix well, cooking for an additional minute until the pineapple is heated through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce or lime juice to taste.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnishing with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
