Vegan Pineapple Fried Rice with Macadamia Nuts Recipe

Ingredients:

Serves 4-6

1 large pineapple

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp sesame oil

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 tsp grated ginger

150g snow peas, sliced in half

4 cups cooked long-grain or jasmine rice

125g baby corn, sliced

3 tbsp soy sauce

1/2 cup frozen peas

2 green shallots, sliced

1/4 cup roasted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped, to garnish

2 tbsp fried shallots, to garnish

Method:

Using a sharp knife, slice pineapple in half, including fronds. Cut around flesh of each pineapple half, 1cm from skin, to leave a shell. Score pineapple flesh, remove with a spoon, and cut into cubes (You will need about 1 cup).

Heat a large wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Combine vegetable and sesame oils and pour into a wok or pan. Add garlic, ginger and snow peas, and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Add rice and baby corn. Stir for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any rice clumps.

Add pineapple pieces and soy. Stir-fry for a further minute, then add peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat and stir through green shallots.

To serve, spoon fried rice into pineapple shells, scatter with macadamia nuts and fried shallots.
