A quick and easy fried rice side dish for any day of the week.

Fried Rice with Pineapple

Fried rice is easy to make and takes just a few ingredients to transform white rice into a side dish or meal.

It’s a great way to use up leftover white rice too.

This fried rice is meatless and has pineapple in it.

I’m always amazed at how fast white rice turns into a completely different dish when it’s lightly fried with soy sauce.

I especially like how delicious fried rice smells when it’s cooking.

And leftovers last nicely in the refrigerator.

Just reheat in the microwave for a quick snack, side dish, or even a light lunch.

In addition to pineapple, this fried rice is made with peas, carrots, egg and almonds.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Fried Rice with Pineapple and Almonds ingredients

Cooked white rice, pineapple chunks, whole or cut almonds, onion, garlic, ginger root, frozen peas and chopped carrots, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, canola oil, salt, pepper, Chinese pea pods or cilantro for garnish
