Pineapple Fried Rice – a super easy fried rice meal with chunks of pineapple for that tropical flavor and shrimps for added protein. It’s super quick and easy too! Go vegan by leaving out shrimps.

Pineapple Fried Rice

Fried Rice has always been one of my go-to meal. It’s very versatile that you can add almost anything to it. No matter what you add, it’ll still end up a delectable and a family hit.

I can’t blame them…rice is life! I thought it was a cultural thing at first, but ever since I moved here in the U.S. my taste bud would come looking for a good fried rice, even plain ones. Nothing is as more filling as rice especially when paired with proteins.

Pineapple Fried Rice

And fried rice are super easy and quick to cook. You just have to toss the ingredients into the wok one at a time, stir them for few minutes until they are all cooked. 

That’s why I love fried rice meal!

This collection of African Rice Recipes is a proof of my deep love for fried rice. 🙂

I’ve tried almost all kind of fried rice, from vegan to meaty ones, spicy and “coconutty” – each of them are appealing on its own. But this Pineapple Fried Rice is something that I’m keeping on top of my list.

Hello, fellow pineapple lovers! 😉

Pineapple Fried Rice

The addition of pineapple brings that little bit of sunshine to a whole tropical vibes. That sweet tangy flavor just  fits perfectly everywhere. It complements well with the “shrimpy” flavor.

Pineapple Fried Rice

If you’re into vegan diet, you may leave shrimps and stick with the veggies and pineapple chunks. It is still delicious ‘cause nothing could go wrong  when you add pineapples to recipes like this.

Calories? Nah, let’s forget about that. Shall we?

Happy eating!

 

Tips and Notes:

 

  1. Refrigerated leftover rice is always the better choice when it comes to fried rice. Hot rice will turn mushy when you add it into a wok with the rest of the ingredients.
  2. You may sub shrimp with chicken or go with both. Make sure to cook the chicken first since it takes longer to cook than shrimp. If you cooked shrimp along with chicken, the shrimp will become rubbery and tough which is like throwing money down the drain.
  3. You may used canned pineapples but if you can get the fresh ones, the better. Fresh is always the best.
  4. If you don’t have wok at home, you can use a heavy bottomed skillet.
  5. For a healthier version, you may sub white rice with brown rice.
  6. You may throw in cashews for that added crunch.
