Ingredients needed for Thai pineapple fried rice recipe.

There are very few ingredients needed to make this exotic rice preparation.

Rice

I prefer to use short grain rice. Jasmine rice is the authentic rice for Pineapple fried rice, but today I have used Sona masoori rice to make this recipe. It works fine.

Traditionally, left-over rice used to make this dish mainly because It doesn’t break while stir-fried. You can also use freshly made rice, but first, allow it to cool completely.

For Instant Pot, just dump rinsed rice with all the ingredients.

Soya sauce

I have used gluten-free soy sauce for this recipe.

Hot sauce

Hot sauce gives a punch to this dish. Use any hot sauce of your choice. My favorite is Sriracha sauce.

Pineapple Juice and Diced pineapple.

I have used fresh pineapple for juice and pieces. But you use canned pineapple juice and pieces too. If Fresh pineapple is not sweet enough, add some sugar.

If you are using fresh pineapple, you want to use one that is golden on the outside. That means it’s ripe and sweet enough to use in this rice dish.

Vegetables

Use any vegetables of your choice. Today, I have used carrot, french beans, colorful bell peppers, and onions.

Ginger-garlic, grated

Garnishing

I have used Cashew pieces and chopped spring onion greens and whites to garnish vegetarian pineapple fried rice.

    Do you think the rice can be doubled, with the same cooktime? This sounds amazing, and so easy!
