Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil (avocado or olive)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (2-inch) knob fresh ginger root, grated
1 cup uncooked white rice (Jasmine or Basmati)
2 cups fresh or frozen pineapple, chopped
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
1½ cups water
Instructions
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for about 5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add uncooked rice and toast for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to coat grains with oil.
Stir in pineapple, sriracha, coconut aminos, coconut sugar, salt, and red chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute to combine flavors.
Pour in water and bring mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water has evaporated and rice is tender.
Remove from heat and let rest (covered) for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork before serving.
Notes
Fresh pineapple adds brighter flavor, but frozen works well too.
Adjust sriracha and chili flakes to control spice level.
For added texture, stir in toasted cashews or green onions before serving.
Turn this into a complete meal by adding sautéed vegetables or your favorite protein.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
