Tips for making this rice

  • Make the basmati rice before making the rest of the recipe
  • Use pineapple chunks for best results. Or you can cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Use the juice that comes with the pineapple because it will make it naturally sweeter. Perfect offset for the jalapenos
  • Fresh pineapple is better, but, they are too much work. So, canned pineapple is fine. Check out how Clean & Delicious cuts a pineapple
  • This rice is good to refrigerate but don’t freeze it. The rice just won’t hold it’s texture or taste when frozen.

Types of rice to use

I only use Basmati rice and I have admitted to being a snob about it.  Its the best rice ever made!

But, the beauty of this pineapple fried rice recipe is that you can substitute it for any rice types. Try wild rice, arborio rice, jasmine rice, brown rice or long grain rice

Elaborate rice recipes are so delicious, but, I am a simple gal who likes simple rice recipes!  Just give me a bowl of steamed rice and I will happily dig in!

  1. So should I assume the rice is precooked?

    Under servings you have 1 cup. So this recipe only makes 1 serving?
