Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 TBS ginger, minced
  • ½ tsp red pepper flake
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 12 oz bag of peas and carrots, frozen
  • 4 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup pineapple, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 3 TBS soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp coriander
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp cardamom
  • Pinch cayenne
  • ½ cup peanuts, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil into a large skillet or wok (I use a 15 inch cast iron). Add the onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until it starts to become translucent. Add garlic through red pepper flake and sauté 1 more minute.
  2. Push the onion mixture to the side of the pan and add the rest of the oil. Pour eggs into one half of the pan and scramble, cooking until they are set. Add peas and carrots to the onion mixture. Cook until thawed and heated through.
  3. Add rice and pineapple to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  4. Combine sugar through cayenne. Sift over rice. Drizzle soy sauce over rice. Stir to coat evenly with seasoning and soy sauce.
  5. Separate into 4 servings and garnish each with 2 tablespoons of peanuts.
