Hawaiian Fried Rice Recipe
This Hawaiian Fried rice is a refreshing take on the traditional fried rice we are used to. It has chunks of ham, pineapple, onion, and red bell pepper with a sweet and tangy sauce. Ready in just 20 minutes!
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 ½ Tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons pineapple juice (reserved from the canned pineapple)
For the Rice:
- 1 Tablespoon cooking oil
- ½ onion
- ½ bell pepper
- 8 oz. diced ham chunks
- 8 oz. can pineapple chunks in juice (drain and reserve juice for sauce)
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 egg
- Fresh chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package directions.
- In a bowl add soy sauce, garlic salt (or minced garlic), cider vinegar, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Whisk together until combined and set aside.
- Dice the onion and bell pepper.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook on medium heat, stirring often for about 5 minutes.
- Add in diced ham and pineapple chunks and cook for 3 more minutes.
- Add in cooked rice and stir everything together until combined.
- Pour in the soy sauce mixture, mix well and stir occasionally while cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Move all the rice mixture over to one side of the pan and crack the egg onto the empty side. Stir the egg with a spatula to scramble it without mixing in the other ingredients.
- After the egg is scrambled and cooked through, mix it together with the rice mixture. Serve garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.
