Day 20 of, "Ways to Enjoy More Fruits and Veggies."
Rice doesn't have to be boring! You can spruce it up by adding fruits and veggies! We love this Pineapple fried Rice recipe!
Ingredients:
Coconut or vegetable oil: 2 Tbsp, divided
Eggs: 2, beaten with a dash of salt
Pineapple: 1 1/2 cups, chopped (fresh or canned)
Red Bell Pepper: 1 large, diced
Green Onions: 3/4 cup, chopped (about 1/2 bunch)
Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
Brown Rice: 2 cups cooked and chilled
Soy Sauce: 1 Tbsp, reduced-sodium
For Garnish (all optional):
Sriracha: 1 to 2 tsp
Lime: 1 small, halved
Salt, to taste
Cilantro: 1 medium handful, torn or chopped
Method of Prep:
1. Heat a large wok, cast iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and place an empty serving bowl nearby.
2. Add 1 teaspoon oil.
3. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and lightly set, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer the eggs to the empty bowl.
4. Wipe out the pan if necessary with a paper towel (be careful, it’s hot!).
5. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and add the pineapple and red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has evaporated and the pineapple is caramelized on the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Add the green onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Transfer the contents of the pan to your bowl of eggs.
7. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan.
8. Add the rice to the pan and stir to combine. Cook until the rice is hot, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
9. Pour the contents of the bowl back into the pan and stir to combine, breaking up the scrambled eggs with your spoon.
10. Cook until the contents are warmed through, then remove the pan from heat.
11. Add the soy sauce and Sriracha , to taste. Squeeze the juice of ½ lime over the dish and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
12. Slice the remaining ½ lime into 4 wedges.
13. Transfer the stir-fry to individual serving bowls and garnish each bowl with a lime wedge and a light sprinkle of cilantro.
Enjoy!
