Pineapple Fried Rice

30 minutes meal · 5 ingredient recipe · asian · asian cuisine · asian dish

Prep 2

This is a real surprise package flavour bomb. Previously I've been hesitant to integrate too much fruit into savoury dishes, but this combination of sweet grilled pineapples cubes with lot's of spicy chilies, soya, ginger, garlic and basil is a sheer delight. I also add in scrambled eggs because that just makes it perfect.

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Place a pan on high heat

2 Then add the pineapple to roast with a pinch of salt

3 Then add the sugar to caramelise for a few minutes

4 Then add the oil and fry the chilies, ginger, garlic and onion until fragrant

5 Then add the vegetables, fresh basil, salt and pepper and stir fry

6 Then add the soya sauce, vinegar, rice and mix

7 Add the scrambled eggs too if you are adding.

ingredients

1 cup, cooked rice
2 tsp sesame oil
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple
1 tsp brown or coconut sugar
1 tbsp minced garlic + ginger paste
1/2 onion, finely chopped

Pumpkin Lemongrass Soup

pumpkin soup is one my favourite meals to have, and serving it up with an asian meal with hints of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves is the best way to begin the meal. i also add a piece of bruised ginger to gently infuse in, without making it too spicy. the topping of crispy lightly caramelised pumpkin seeds is a *chef's kiss*

Tomato Fried Rice

This is inspired from a NYTimes cooking recipe – an app that I have been scouring for inspiration instead of wasting time on Instagram. I saw a tomato rice recipe that inspired me to take a twist on it. Tomato and soy sauce is a wonderful combination and not used enough in my opinion. The tomatoes are blistered gently in a pan with flavours of ginger and garlic, and the a touch of soy sauce, with scrambled eggs, rice, veggies (mushroom works best here in my opinion), spring onions and toasted black sesame seeds – a beautiful umami dish.

Pink Veggie Parathas

I've always loved parathas and when Rujuta Diwekar wrote how I could gorge on them on a daily basis for breakfast, I began to like her just a tad bit more. Here's a great fulfilling recipe with potatoes and vegetables and the iron-rich beetroot and travels really well. When I'm carrying this one along with me in my tiffin or on a flight, I also pack in a small butter chiplet (or two) to gently (or generously) slather across. This recipe was first featured in Ahmedabad Mirror for their Travel Edition Special
