Ginger-pineapple rice
10 servings
30 minutes
Ginger-pineapple rice is a Hawaiian dish both in mood and in the way it is prepared. All the ingredients are fried in a hot wok and then seasoned with sesame oil. You can eat this rice as a separate dish, or you can add it as a side dish to meat - the acids in the pineapple help break down fats. Keep in mind that the rice here is slightly mushy, and if you want a crumbly texture, just add less water.

Rinse the rice and drain it in a colander. Transfer to a large saucepan, add three and a half cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook covered for about thirteen minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for five minutes. Then fluff with a fork, spread on a baking sheet, and cool for forty-five minutes. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for four hours.
