Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering your ingredients. Chop the fresh pineapple, bell peppers, and carrots into small pieces, and mince the garlic and ginger finely.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, pour in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger into the hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
  4. Toss in the chopped bell peppers, frozen peas, and carrots. Stir-fry these vibrant vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Mix in the diced fresh pineapple and allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Using day-old cooked Jasmine rice, gently break up any clumps before adding it to the skillet. Stir everything together for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Drizzle the stir-fried mixture with soy and oyster sauce, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well for another minute.
  8. Fold in the chopped green onions and heat for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  9. Transfer your Pineapple Fried Rice to a serving dish, garnishing with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot.
