Pineapple Rice: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for Your Dinner Table


  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups jasmine rice
– 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks (in juice, drained)
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– ½ teaspoon ground ginger
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

Making Pineapple Rice is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Rinse the Rice: Begin by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffier rice.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Stir in the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the rice is cooking, prepare your vegetables. Chop the red bell pepper and onion, and mince the garlic.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil over medium heat.
5. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
6. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell pepper and frozen peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
7. Incorporate Pineapple and Rice: Add the drained pineapple chunks and the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
8. Season the Mixture: Drizzle soy sauce and sprinkle ground ginger and black pepper over the rice mixture. Stir continuously until everything is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce if necessary.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Following these steps will bring you a satisfying dish that everyone will love.
