Pineapple Fried Rice

January 12, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

Pineapple Fried Rice

Grain-free pineapple fried rice is a quick and easy single-pan meal, and makes great leftovers too. You just need to do some prep work dicing vegetables in order to have all the ingredients ready for this quick stir-fry.

I prefer shrimp or chicken paired with pineapple, but feel free to add your protein of choice, or don’t add additional protein apart from the eggs in the recipe to keep it vegetarian. And if you’re a fan of shrimp and pineapple like I am, or a fan of pineapple fried rice, you may also like my recipe for Thai pineapple shrimp curry.

I’m a huge fan of pineapple, not only for it’s flavor and juice, but it has some great health benefits. It’s high in nutrients like vitamin C and manganese. Pineapple contain bromelain, a group of digestive enzymes that help break down proteins and make them easier to absorb in the small intestine. Studies show it may also help prevent cancer and reduce inflammation in the body. And it helps recovery after surgery; I took bromeliad extract after a surgery a few years ago and had really good healing results.

Pineapple Fried Rice

You can use your choice of protein here; I recommend precooked chicken or shrimp.
If you are using uncooked protein, cook it ahead of time, either before or after the eggs and then put it aside until later in the steps.
If you're not nut-free you can also ½ cup chopped raw, unsalted cashews when adding the protein.

    Erica, I borrowed your Everyday Keto Baking from the library (2019 edition) and am a bit disappointed in the quality of proofreading of the recipes. I have only had time to try two recipes so far, and this is what I found: Biscuits, pg. 40. Instruction #2 says to whisk the wet ingredients, but there is only one wet ingredient, the butter. Should there be coconut milk in the ingredient list also? I had to add some to make the flour mixture come together.
    The other recipe that I tried was the Snickerdoodles, pg. 109. Milk is listed in the ingredient list, but there isn’t any indication of when to add it. Common sense told me to add with the butter mixture, but anyone who is not familiar with baking might not know.

    The layout of the book is very pleasing. Great photos! I’ll try a few more recipes before deciding whether to buy it or not.

    All the best,
    Carol

      Thanks for your feedback. I have a page on my site dedicated to this book, so please do check it out. It has all the errors I’m aware of this far. I’m going to be publishing all the recipes that require a correction. Here’s the ULR for the cookbook page: https://comfybelly.com/2019/05/everyday-keto-baking/
