Pineapple fried rice with an Asian accent goes well with many things. Perfect alongside chicken and beef, but equally good with salmon, shrimp, or scallops. This comes together quickly, so get all of your ingredients prepped before you start cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ cup diced sweet onion
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
