Pineapple fried rice is both sweet and savory, and a great way to use up leftover rice. I served it in hollowed out pineapple to eat outside on the patio. Ah paradise. I used vegan fish sauce(available from Amazon), and vegan oyster sauce, which is just vegetarian stirfry sauce. Yum.
INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp vegan fish sauce
1 Tbsp vegan oyster sauce(or stir fry sauce)
1.5-2 tsp chili-garlic sauce(sambal oelek)
1 Tbsp coconut sugar

1 cup JUSTEGG
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2" ginger, minced
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled & chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1/3 cup raw cashews, roughly chopped
2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
