PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE WITH CASHEWS [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups uncooked jasmine rice (Or 2 2/3 cups uncooked quinoa)
• 1 whole pineapple, cored
• 7 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 red onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 scallions, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• 6 teaspoon curry powder
• 5 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Coriander leaves for garnish
• Roasted cashew nuts

PREPARATION

1. If you are cooking the night before serving: Cook your jasmine rice/quinoa according to the instructions at the back of the package. Let it cool and store it in the fridge. If you are cooking a few hours before serving: cook your jasmine rice/quinoa with slightly less water than indicated on the package. Spread your rice on a large baking tray. Place in a cool area for 2-3 hours to dry out.
2. If desired, scoop out the pineapple flesh out of the pineapple cut in half vertically to form a pineapple serving boat. If not, just prepare the pineapple flesh. Cut into small cubes and set aside.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add your cold rice (should be dry and clumpy). Use your wooden spatula to break up the rice clumps.
5. Add curry powder, soy sauce, white part of scallion, and mix until evenly distributed.
6. Add your chopped pineapples and halved tomatoes. Fold through and allow everything to cook for 5 minutes or until completely warmed through.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Fold in fresh coriander leaves. Serve with toasted cashew nuts.
