Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1.5 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or sesame)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing and chopping all your vegetables. Slice the red bell pepper, slice the carrots thinly, cut the broccoli into florets, and measure out the snap peas and pineapple chunks.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional). Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and let it heat until it shimmers.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Next, add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes or until they’re tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the pineapple chunks to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes to lightly caramelize them.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and pineapple, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet and toss to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and well mixed with the sauce.

Step 9

Transfer the stir fry to serving plates or a large serving dish.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and extra crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Pineapple Stir Fry!
