Pineapple Basmati Fried Rice (vegan and gluten-free)

This is a great summer vegetable fried rice. It is very popular in Southeast Asia. Traditionally they use Jasmine rice, but I prefer to use
Basmati rice. I has a much more fragrant aroma and it complements the pineapple’s natural sweetness.

Ingredients:

1 cup basmati rice
1 ¼ cup water
3 tbs corn or light olive oil
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
3 garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup diced pineapple (fresh or can)
3-4 pieces of asparagus diced (about 1 cup) or celery heart
2 scallions, finely sliced
1 tsp coarse or kosher salt
1 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves

Directions:

1) Wash basmati rice with cold water and drain. Put in rice cooker with one and ¼ cup of cold water and follow rice cooker instructions. Once it’s done, stir the rice to separate

2) Heat 2 tbs oil to a skillet and add shallots, garlic and sauté over medium heat until it is soft and translucent. Add asparagus, pineapple, and 1 tsp kosher salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir and cook for another 5 minutes.

3) Add the rice to the skillet and continue to sauté over medium heat. Press and mix the rice into the vegetable until it is completely mixed in about 10-15 min.

4) Then mix the scallion, 1 tbs soy sauce, and heat for another 5 minutes. Season with fresh ground pepper and basil. Serves 2 - 4 people as lunch, or 8 as a side dish.

Chef’s Tips

Basmati rice has a wonderful aroma flavor.

I prefer to use fresh pineapple in the summertime. It is sweet and adds another flavor to the rice.

Scallion should be added at the end for flavor and color

If you do not have a rice cooker, you can use a heavy medium pot with tight-fitting lid.

1) Wash and drain the rice.

2) Add 1 cup of water for each cup of rice. Over high heat brings the rice mixture to a boil.

3) Then turn the heat to very low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid. The rice should have absorbed all the water. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.

4) Remove the lid and stir the rice.
