  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian alternative)
  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashews
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, sautรฉ 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Pour in eggs, scramble quickly, then push to side.
  3. Add remaining oil, bell pepper, peas, and half the pineapple. Stir-fry 2 minutes.
  4. Add cooked rice and break up clumps with a spatula. Cook 3 minutes, stirring often.

Notes

  • Use chilled, day-old rice for best textureโ€”fresh rice turns mushy.
  • For vegan version, swap fish sauce for tamari or coconut aminos and use vegan oyster sauce.
  • Grill the pineapple before adding for deeper caramelized flavor.
