Spicy and sweet fried rice made with chilli garlic sauce and pineapples.
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 3/4 cup chopped pineapples
- 1 cup finely chopped vegetables ( beans, carrot, brocolli, baby corn)
- 6 to 7 spring onions (White and green part separately chopped)
- 4 garlic minced
- 1/2 inch piece ginger
- 1/2 tsp pepper powder
- 2 red chillies ( I used thai red chilly)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp chilli garlic sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- salt to taste
- 11/2 tbsp oil (sesame or olive oil)
-
Cook the rice with 13/4 cups of water in the Instant pot in rice mode and let it cool.
-
Chop the veggies and keep it ready.
-
Switch on the saute mode (high) in your Instant pot and add the oil. Let the oil become hot. Then add the ginger, garlic and fry until the they start turning golden.
-
Now add the white part of the spring onions, red chilly and saute for a minute.
-
Add the chopped veggies, soy sauce, chill garlic sauce, salt, sugar, pepper and saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are halfway cooked. The vegetables need to have a bite in them.
-
Now add the cooked rice, pineapple and give everything a mix. Saute the rice for couple of minutes. It is nice to have some fried/ brown bits at the bottom of the pan.
-
When your instant pot pineapple fried rice is done, switch off and garnish with green part of the spring onions.
- When adding the pineapple, drain the juice and add it to the rice.
- You can do the recipe without chilli garlic sauce. In that case, add extra soy sauce as needed and add a tsp of chilli vinegar / vinegar.
- You can do the recipe in a normal wok too. Just follow the same steps and cook the vegetables in a high heat.
