Method
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and have them chopped and ready for cooking. This ensures a smooth cooking process.
Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot pan, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add Vegetables: Toss in the diced carrots, bell pepper, and peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Incorporate Pineapple: Add the diced pineapple to the skillet, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the pineapple to caramelize slightly.
Stir in Rice: Bring the day-old jasmine rice into the pan, breaking apart any clumps. Mix well with the vegetables and pineapple.
Season: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through.
Finish with Green Onions: Stir in the chopped green onions right before taking off the heat. This adds a fresh crunch to the dish.
Serve: Plate the pineapple fried rice and garnish with fresh cilantro. If desired, top with a fried egg for an additional layer of flavor.
