I pinned this recipe on Pinterest what seems to be ages ago! During a recent trip to Trader Joe’s, I noticed that they had fresh pineapple so I decided to pick one up. I instantly thought of this Pineapple Fried Rice dish and knew I had to make it, so I made sure to pick up the other ingredients as well. My husband and I decided to eat this Pineapple Fried Rice as a meal (as opposed to a side dish) and I found it to be very filling. I also added a few strips of marinated tofu (not pictured) that was a really nice addition.
