Pineapple Peanut Fried Rice
Pineapple brings a sweet contrast to fried rice with egg, peas and a peanut finish. It is a useful alternative to another plain rice bowl when you have safely handled cooked rice available. Drain the pineapple thoroughly before it enters the pan. Extra syrup or juice makes it harder to heat and turn the rice without steaming everything together.

FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Use well-drained canned pineapple, not pineapple juice by the same weight. Fruit pieces provide texture; juice would wet the rice and prevent frying.
