Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1.5 cups pineapple chunks
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup green peas
• 2 egg
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 fresh, juiced lime
• 2 chopped green onions
• 0.5 cup, toasted cashews
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all your ingredients: chop the onion, mince the garlic, dice the carrot and red bell pepper, and juice the lime.

Step 2

In a large wok or non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and green peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for an additional 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and crack the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked, then combine them with the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the cooked jasmine rice, pineapple chunks, fish sauce, and lime juice to the skillet. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Increase the heat to high and stir-fry the mixture for about 3-5 minutes, until the rice is heated through and begins to get crispy.

Step 8

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then toss in the chopped green onions and toasted cashews.

Step 9

Serve the pineapple fried rice hot, garnishing with extra green onions if desired.
