Instructions
-
Begin by heating a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic, fresh ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté these aromatic ingredients, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes until they are fragrant and the garlic becomes lightly golden.
-
Next, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking apart any clumps with a spatula. Pour in the soy sauce, ensuring the rice is evenly coated. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the rice is heated through and begins to develop a slight crispy texture.
-
Incorporate the crushed pineapple into the rice mixture, stirring well to combine. Allow the pineapple to heat through for about 1-2 minutes, letting its juices mingle with the rice for added flavor.
-
Once everything is heated and well mixed, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish your Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Fried Rice with freshly sliced green onions, scattering them generously over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
-
Serve this delightful dish warm, either as a satisfying main course or as a vibrant side to complement your favorite Asian-inspired meals.
