Simple Pineapple Fried Rice (vegan)


A simpler version of pineapple fried rice, with fewer spices and omitting the egg. This is a great "clean out the fridge" recipe as you can add most any veggie to it!

Saute 1 C onion slices in oil until starting to brown. Add 1 -2 tea minced garlic, stir. Add 2 C sliced mushrooms and let them release their juices.

Add:
1-2 C thinly sliced and chopped green cabbage
Optional: any other veggies, thinly sliced (carrot, celery, etc)


Add spices/liquid and stir:
White pepper
corriander
soy sauce
1 tea lime juice

Toss 1-3 C leftover cooked rice (brown rice is good but any will work- leftover/cold rice is best) with 1 TB sesame oil, braking up lumps. Dump rice into pan and stir.

Add and stir:
Raisins
Cashews
Pineapple
Green peas (frozen is fine)

Stir occasionally over high heat until some of the rice on the bottom starts to brown.

Serve hot with thin sliced scallion and sesame seeds.
