Pineapple Fried Rice

Pineapple Fried Rice

3 tablespoons lite soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup diced ham
3 cups cooked rice (brown or white)
1 can (20-oz) pineapple tidbits, drained
2 green onions, sliced

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and pepper.  Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.  Add garlic, onion and carrots and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.  Stir in the corn, peas and ham and cook, stirring constantly until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.    Stir in the rice, pineapple, green onions and soy sauce mixture and cook until heated through and well mixed, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

This was really good with the Island Pork Tenderloin I made tonight.  My husband considers Fried Rice a side dish, but this would be good for dinner all by itself!  I have to say though that the sauce from the Pork Tenderloin is what made this rice dish so good!
