Pineapple Fried Rice
This is a good easy one when you have a craving for fried rice. The pineapple makes it really sweet. You can just leave the pineapple out, but then you have to call it ‘fried rice’ )
Ingredients
2 leaves bok choy (chopped)
2 large carrots (thinly sliced)
2 cloves garlic
3 regular green onions (chopped)
1 regular yellow onion (diced)
1 cup pineapple (cubed)
1 cup peas (frozen)
1 cup brown rice
1 cup vegetable broth (low sodium)
4 eggs
1 Tbsp coconut oil
black pepper
red pepper
2 Tbsp tamari
1 breast chicken (optional)
Instructions
- Cook brown rice as per package instructions (usually calls for 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice – we normally use 1 cup of veggie broth + 1 cup water to give it a little flavor).
- Prepare your veggies, spices and beat your eggs.
- Add about 1 Tbsp coconut oil to a large pan and heat over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot add rice and cook until some of the rice is browned (about 8-10 min). Set rice aside in a bowl.
- Add onion (yellow), garlic, bok choy, and carrots to pan and cook (about 5 min).
- Add pineapple, peas, and cook until veggies are the consistency you like them (about 3 min). Set vegetables aside in another bowl.
- Add eggs, black pepper (to taste) and red pepper (to taste) and scramble until just set.
- Add rice, veggies and green onions back to the pan and mix well. Sprinkle with a little tamari and mix one last time.

This was very good. My whole family ate it up. I used carrots, onion, cabbage, baby swiss chard, green onion and pineapple in the fried rice. I served it with roasted broccoli and a salad.
Just made this tonight…it’s a new family fav! Thank you for such great recipes that my hubby looks forward to eating veggies!
