Last night I decided to try a new recipe with the leftover rice that I had from our stir-fry a few days ago. We love our stir-fry’s and could eat that pretty much everyday, plus it is a good way to eat a whole lot of veggies. This rice is full of colorful vegetables sauteed in a light pineapple ginger sauce. A great way to use leftover rice and a more than satisfying meal!
Pineapple Ginger Fried Rice
Serves 6
Ingredients
Rice Ingredients –
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 (540 ml) can pineapple tidbits (juice drained and reserved for pineapple ginger sauce)
Pineapple Ginger Sauce –
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, maple syrup and ground ginger in a small dish and set aside. Heat the sunflower oil in a large wok on medium heat. Add the diced onion and pressed garlic and saute for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the diced pepper, grated carrot, frozen peas and pineapple ginger sauce and cook 5-8 minutes more, simmering the vegetables in the sauce until softened. Finally add the brown rice and pineapple tidbits and cook 5 minutes more until the entire mixture is hot. Serve.
I think I could easily devour the whole thing!
