Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Brown rice
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Carrot
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine 2 cups of brown rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes until the rice is cooked.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Dice the red bell pepper and carrot, mince the garlic, thinly slice the green onions, and chop the cilantro. Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and carrot to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the green peas and pineapple chunks and cook for another 2 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked.
Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon. Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce over the top and stir everything to combine evenly.
Season the fried rice with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Stir in the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Cook for 1 more minute until everything is heated through.
Serve the sugar-free pineapple fried rice hot, with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added zest and flavor.
