Add chunks of fresh pineapple to vegetarian fried rice to transform it into something special. Serve on its own for a family dinner or as part of a banquet
Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- small bunch of spring onions, chopped
- 1⁄2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 400g cooked long-grain rice
- 85g frozen peas
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp low-salt soy sauce
- 400g fresh pineapple, roughly chopped into chunks (about 1⁄2 medium pineapple)
Method
-
1 Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok. Add the eggs, swirling them up the sides, to make a thin omelette. Once cooked through, roll the omelette onto a chopping board and cut into ribbons.
-
Heat the remaining oil. Add the garlic, onions and five-spice. Stir-fry until sizzling, then add the rice (if using pouches, squeeze them first, to separate the grains), peas, sesame oil and soy. Cook over a high heat until the rice is hot, then stir through the pineapple and omelette ribbons.
