Ingredients
- 4 cups cold cooked rice
- 2 Tbsp. peanut or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup cashew pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 cup pineapple tidbits
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions divided
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Fresh cilantro for garnish optional
Instructions
- Use your fingers to crumble up the cold rice and break up any clumps.
- Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the cashews, onions, and raisins. Let cook for 1 minute.
- Add the beaten egg and cook for 1 minute while stirring to scramble the egg.
- Add the pineapple pieces, followed by half of the chopped scallions. Then add the rice, fish sauce, and sugar to the mixture, and cook, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the rice is warm.
- Mound the rice on a serving platter and garnish with the leftover scallions (and cilantro if desired).

Notes
- You can store leftover Pineapple Fried Rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 3-4 days. Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the rice and pineapple may become unpleasant upon thawing.
- You can reheat it in a microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating, or in a large skillet over medium heat. Just add a little water or oil to prevent drying.
