An easy and quick weeknight meal that is cheaper, healthier, and tastier than takeout!
I love pineapple fried rice. There are many variations of this fried rice, which is my favorite. The pineapple pieces are huge every time I get pineapple fried rice in a restaurant or when I order it from takeout. This is my biggest pet peeve. I had to create a home version for you to enjoy.
This version is loaded with pineapple pieces that are conveniently sized to be eaten in bite-sized chunks. They burst with their sweet, juicy juice. This is a super-easy recipe that can be used to use up leftover vegetables.
You can use any protein you like – ham ch, chicken,rimp – or even just pineapple if you want to keep it vegetarian. You’ll get the perfect combination of sweet and spice flavors once you drizzle that Sriracha goodness on top. This makes great leftovers for the next day.
