Stir-Fry the Rice
Combine and Finish
Serve
Substitute the chicken with 450g of peeled and deveined shrimp, firm tofu (cubed and pressed), or thinly sliced pork.
Omit the chicken and egg. Use firm tofu instead. Replace the oyster sauce and fish sauce with a vegetarian stir-fry sauce or mushroom-based soy sauce.
Add 1-2 finely chopped Thai bird's eye chilies along with the garlic and ginger for a significant kick of heat.
Incorporate 1/2 cup of diced carrots, sweet corn, or chopped water chestnuts for added texture and nutrition. Add carrots with the onion and bell pepper.
Chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and promoting a feeling of fullness.
Pineapple and red bell peppers are packed with Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system, supports skin health, and helps protect cells from damage.
Pineapple is the unique source of bromelain, a group of enzymes known for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to aid in digestion.
The carbohydrates from the jasmine rice provide a readily available source of energy to fuel your body and brain throughout the day.
A typical serving of this Pineapple Fried Rice contains approximately 550-650 calories, depending on the exact amount of oil and protein used. It's a balanced meal with carbohydrates, protein, and fats.
Yes, it can be a healthy and well-rounded meal. It contains lean protein from chicken, vitamins and fiber from pineapple and vegetables, and healthy fats from cashews. To make it healthier, you can use brown rice for more fiber and be mindful of the amount of oil and sodium from the sauces.
Absolutely. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with cubed firm tofu and omit the fish sauce. For a vegan version, also omit the egg and ensure you use a vegetarian oyster sauce (often made from mushrooms).
The best rice is day-old, cold-cooked long-grain rice, like Jasmine. The refrigeration process dries out the grains, preventing them from clumping together and becoming mushy when stir-fried.
Yes, you can use canned pineapple chunks. Be sure to drain them very well before adding to the wok. Fresh pineapple is recommended as it has a firmer texture and a more vibrant, tangy flavor that complements the savory ingredients better.
