Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
• 1/4 cup grated coconut (optional)
• 3 cups cooked rice, preferably Jasmine
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp hot sauce
• salt to taste

3. Put 2 cups of the pineapple cubes in a bowl and save the rest for another use.

 
4. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of oil. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are soft-set scrambled, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour scrambled eggs in a big bowl and set aside.

 

 
5. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the pineapple and red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has evaporated and the pineapple begins to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

8. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Add the rice to the pan. Cook until the rice is hot, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes.

11. Spoon finished fried rice into pineapple bowl. Serve.

Looks good and beautifully presented! At sprouts last week or so they had pineapple for only .99 cents! I wish I known this recipe. Next time!

Really sounds and looks delicious! Directions so easy to follow - you really know how to "dot the I's and cross the T's" when giving instructions.

We made this yesterday (Monday) and it turned out great. Had to substitute/change a few ingredients (no store trip till later in week) but still very good recipe. If anyone loves pineapple (who could not?) then this will really make your meal one to remember.
