Chicken & Pineapple Fried Rice

This is a new twist on an old thing. I made this for dinner a couple of nights ago and haven't stopped thinking about it. You can use tofu to make this vegetarian, or any type of meat you choose or have on hand.

Chicken & Pineapple Fried Rice

Ingredients:
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 gloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, diced
1 cup peas (we use frozen)
2 eggs, scrambled
1 handful cilantro, chopped
2 1/2 c jasmine rice, cooked
1/2 - 1 ld. chicken, meat or tofu
1 1/2 c pineapple chunks
3/4 c pineapple juice (1 lg. can of pineapple chunks in juice is the perfect amount)
1/2 c tamari (I didn't have this and used watered down soy sauce)
2 tbl yellow curry powder

*Use a hot wok if you have one - it really makes a difference.
1. Saute chicken, meat or tofu and set aside
2. Scramble eggs and set aside
3. Saute onion, carrot, peas, garlic & pineapple chunks, set aside.
4. Fry rice for 1-2 minutes
5. Add veggies back in
6. Add pineapple juice, tamari, and curry powder
7. Add meat, egg & cilantro and toss well
8. Serves garnished with cashews, green onion & cilantro - YUMMY!
