Pineapple Rice

Finally, a side dish to add! This will make about four servings. 

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp of fresh ginger, grated

1 cup of long or short-grain white rice

1 cup Pineapple fresh or canned

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar

Red chili flakes, to taste

Salt, to taste

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Toss in the garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes.

Add the rice to the pan and toast it for about 2 minutes. Stir gently until the rice is lightly golden.

Stir in the pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, red chili flakes, and salt. Sauté for another minute.

Pour in 1.5 cups of water and increase the heat to high, bringing it to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes until the water evaporates.

Turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes.
