Vegetarian Pineapple Fried Rice

Vegetarian Pineapple Fried Rice

Easy vegetarian pineapple fried rice recipe

Craving to try pineapple fried rice came after I had it for lunch in one of our office food court’s Chinese Vegetarian Stall, it was actually bad and that reminded me to try it myself.  I had fresh, juicy pineapple and thought of making this one day for my lunch.   I always make vegetarian fried rice and now a days skip doing it as cutting all the veggies takes time, if you are like me then this easy pineapple fried rice recipe is for you.  I never guessed making pineapple fried rice can be so easy and breeze, a great way to have Thai Food at home comfort.  A simple, easy recipe to please your guest or family and perfect for lunch box, am sure you will like this too if you try .  If you think color of rice is different in pictures then it’s due to poor light I had, it has nice yellow color and tasted better than most of Thai restaurant’s pineapple fried rice seriously.

  18. I have never made this dish ..probably because I don't relish fruits added in the food...even the Kashmiri pulao has pineapple in it.
    I think I should give it a try..the colour of your fried rice looks so inviting...the taste must be equally good too.
