Scale
- 1 cup Basmati rice (equals 3 cups cooked rice)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 carrots, cut into thin sticks
- 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin sticks
- 1/2 cup frozen peas

- 2 green onions, cut into rings
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- For best results, use leftover rice that has been cooked and chilled overnight as it prevents clumping. Also, cook the frozen peas for about 7 minutes either by boiling or steaming until tender, then set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Then add the chopped garlic, carrot sticks, and red bell pepper sticks. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
- Stir in the cooked rice and evenly sprinkle the curry powder over the mixture. Add the soy sauce and mix thoroughly to coat the rice and vegetables with the spices and seasoning.
- Add the cooked peas, pineapple pieces, sliced green onions, and cashews into the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
- Remove from heat and serve the pineapple fried rice garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful vegan dish!
