Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water

Pineapple

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  2. Prepare the pineapple: While the rice is cooking, cut fresh pineapple into small chunks if not already prepared.
  3. Combine ingredients: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the pineapple chunks and soy sauce evenly into the hot rice to allow the flavors to distribute.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but canned pineapple (drained) can be substituted.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your taste preference and dietary needs.
  • This dish can be enhanced by adding chopped green onions or toasted cashews for extra texture.
