Pineapple Fried Rice

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
4 cups water
2 cups white rice
1 tablespoon oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
3/4 peas
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 green onions, thinly sliced (deleted these)
1 cup diced carrots

Directions

Open can of crushed pineapple and drain juice into a cup.

In a medium saucepan, combine the liquid from the can of crushed pineapple with 3 cups water, bring to a boil. Add rice. Bring mixture to boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook 25 to 30 minutes or until rice is tender.

In a non-stick wok/skillet heat the 1 tablespoon oil. Add the eggs and cook without stirring, until set. Slide eggs out of the wok to a plate - cut into short, narrow strips. In the same wok, heat the sesame oil and stir fry the peas, soy sauce, green onions, and carrots for about 4 minutes. Stir in cooked rice, pineapple, and egg strips. Heat until everything is heated through.

“The most important thing about fried rice is that the cooked rice should be absolutely cold; rice which has been lying in the refrigerator for a day or two is perfect for this. The rice should also not be overcooked or they tend to go mushy on frying.”
