Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice
190g
3 tbsp soy sauce
50g
1 tbsp sesame oil
14g
1/2 tsp ginger
0.90g
1/4 tsp white pepper
0.60g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 onion
54g
1/2 cup carrots
66g
1/2 cup sweet corn
70g
0.49 cup peas
63g
2 cups pineapple
330g
4.50 tbsp onion
27g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice:
- Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, add the rice and 2 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 40-45 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside to cool. (It's best to use day-old rice for fried rice, so consider preparing the rice a day ahead if possible.)
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the onion and green onions.
- Dice the carrots if not already done.
- Prepare the 2 cups of pineapple chunks if using fresh pineapple.
3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the diced carrots, sweet corn, and peas. Stir-fry for another 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Add Pineapple and Seasonings:
- Stir in the 2 cups of pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the pineapple to warm through.
- Sprinkle the ginger powder and white pepper over the mixture and stir to combine.
5. Incorporate the Rice:
- Add the cooled brown rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
- Pour in the soy sauce and drizzle the sesame oil over the rice.
- Stir-fry everything together for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are well mixed and heated through.
6. Final Touches:
- Add the finely chopped green onions and give everything one final stir.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (you can add a little more soy sauce or a pinch of salt if needed).
7. Serve:
- Transfer the ginger-infused pineapple fried rice to a serving platter.
- Garnish with additional green onions if desired and serve hot.

Tips:

- For best results, cook the brown rice a day ahead and refrigerate it. This helps the rice grains to firm up and prevents them from becoming mushy while frying.

- Ensure your pan or wok is hot before adding oil. This helps in creating a perfect stir-fry by searing the ingredients quickly.

- Fresh pineapple is recommended for a juicier and more vibrant taste, but canned pineapple can be used as a convenient alternative.

And there you have it, your vibrant and flavorful Ginger and Pineapple Fried Rice. This dish is sure to impress with its balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. Serve it as a main course or a side dish, and enjoy the burst of tropical taste in every bite.
