A vibrant and flavorful pineapple rice made with fragrant jasmine rice, sweet fresh pineapple, and colorful bell peppers. This easy dish comes together in 30 minutes and makes a perfect light main or side.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  2. While the rice cooks, dice the pineapple and bell peppers, and slice the green onions.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in the diced pineapple and soy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add it to the skillet. Mix well to combine with the vegetables and pineapple.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add tofu or a scrambled egg.
  • Use brown rice for a higher fiber option; adjust cooking time as needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
