Disclosure: Today’s Pineapple Fried Rice is brought to you by Minute® Rice.
Pineapple Fried Rice made with Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice: pineapple, ham and veggies with a flavorful whole grain brown rice comes together so quickly, you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. It’s a much healthier version of takeout and less expensive too!
Use a non-stick skillet or Wok to make delicious Pineapple Fried Rice. Have all of your ingredients chopped and prepped for fast cooking.
The flavors are so fresh and crunchy with all of the yummy veggies and pineapple. If you would like a vegetarian option, omit the ham and replace it with tofu, or just as is. The Brown rice has a delicious texture along with the ham being salty and the pineapple being sweet. It’s a wonderful combination of salty and sweet.
Minute® Rice is quick and easy to prepare and is a great pantry staple and a go-to ingredient your whole family will love.
If you like the nutty, rich flavor of brown rice, Minute 100% Whole Grain Brown Rice is a delicious, nutritious option, and it has similar nutritional values as regular long cooking brown rice, but is ready in just 10 minutes, that is only 1/4 of the time! Minute® Rice is gluten free and non GMO too.
Cook rice according to directions. I used the microwave directions on the box.
In a heated Wok, add olive oil. Add garlic and onions, saute until translucent.
Add peppers, carrots and peas. Stir for 3 minutes.
Add rice, pineapple, ham, ginger and sauce. Stir until combined, keep stirring for 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
