Hawaiian Rice With Crushed Pineapple Food

PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine water, pineapple, sugar, butter, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in rice and bring back to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, partially covered for 15 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed. The rice will be almost done with a slight bite to it.
• Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice steam another 5 minutes, covered. Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. (I love cilantro so I usually go heavy but you can add as much as you like).

HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• This recipe will cook fast so prepare the vegetables ahead of time. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain out the liquid. Then, mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set it aside.
• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium high heat and a teaspoon of the oil. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them. Then remove them from the pan and set it aside.
• Add another teaspoon of the cooking oil to the pan and add your choice of protein (spam, chicken, shrimp, tofu). When the protein is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
• Add the rest of the cooking oil to the pan and add the red bell peppers, onions, and carrots. Stir fry them together for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Next, add the cold pre-cooked rice and the sauce. Make sure to break apart any clumps of rice by pressing down with the flat side of your spatula or spoon. It's important to coat each grain of rice with the oil and sauce. Add in a teaspoon more oil if you find your rice is sticking together.
• Once your rice is fully separated and coated with the sauce, add the eggs, protein, and pineapple back into the pan. Toss everything together for 1 minute.
• Lastly add the frozen peas and toss it together until the peas turn bright green.
• Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds on top. Optional: serve it in pineapple bowls.

HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir ketchup and brown sugar into melted butter, stirring to dissolve brown sugar. Whisk cornstarch into vinegar until smooth; pour into pan. Whisk constantly and add salt, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to mixture; bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir pineapple into sauce.
• Arrange chicken pieces in a 9x13-inch baking dish; pour pineapple sauce over chicken.
• Bake until sauce is bubbling, chicken is browned, and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and honey; brush the chicken with this mixture.
• Layer the remaining vegetables and pineapple over the chicken.

HAWAIIAN RICE

Steps:

• 1. Pour syrup from the can into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil for approximately five minutes.
• 2. Lower heat and stir in brown sugar untill it disolves completely. Add ginger and soy and allow to sit on very low heat to keep warm.
• 3. On a grill place pinapple rings and cook for about four minutes on one side and one minute on the other side. ( you can broil them in the oven, but you should baste the rings with the sauce before broiling to help pinapple turn golden brown) place pinapple rings on top of rice, pour sauce over rice.
• I highly recommend adding grilled scallops or shrimp to this dish. enjoy.
