Thai Curry Pineapple Fried Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • 2 carrots, cut into thin sticks

  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin sticks

  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

  • 1/2 cup cashews

  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • 1 cup pineapple, cut into small pieces

  • 2 green onions, cut into rings

  • salt and black pepper, to taste

  • red pepper flakes (optional)

  • fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

  • I like the Thai pineapple fried rice best with left-over rice from the day before. So cook the rice according to the instructions on the package and store it in an air-tight container in the fridge until you use it. Cook the frozen peas for about 7 minutes.

  • In a large pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion for about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic, the carrots, and the bell pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.

  • Then stir in the cooked rice and season with the curry powder and the soy sauce. Next, add the pineapple, the peas, the green onion, and the cashews.

  • Season with salt, black pepper, and if using red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined. Serve with fresh cilantro.
