Hawaiian Garlic Pineapple Fried Rice Bowls

jump to recipe

You know what they say: A pineapple a day keeps the worry‘s away!

If there is one thing my family loves it’s rice. We have it with almost every meal because it goes with everything and anything and it honestly is acceptable to consume at any hour of the day: breakfast, lunch or dinner.


This recipe is one of those recipes that is acceptable for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it is one that everyone will love for many reasons. First it’s salty, then it‘s sweet and the best part is that it is easier to make than you think. Once you have everything prepped it’s done in 25 minutes or less! Plus if you are looking to make this a real show stopper, cut out the pineapple meat from the center and serve the fried rice inside. That little touch is sure to elevate your dining experience even if you are just at home.
