Chinese Takeout Pineapple Fried Rice

Essentially, this is American-style Chinese food, and something we are all familiar with. Great comfort food!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3  cups  leftover cooked white rice
• 2  tablespoons  peanut oil or 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 2  shallots, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1  tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1  tablespoon soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon  chinese rice wine or 1  tablespoon dry sherry
• 1  cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch bite-size cubes
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped thickly-sliced ham

Directions

1. Break up the cold cooked rice into smaller clumps.
2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add oil and swirl to coat bottom. Add shallots and bell pepper; stir-fry until fragrant and edges of shallots begin to crisp, about 1 minute. Move shallots and bell peppers to the side, creating a well in the middle. Toss in rice; break up remaining clumps with a spatula.
3. Stir in oyster sauce, soy sauce and rice wine. Stir-fry until rice starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add pineapple and ham. Give everything a few quick stirs so that the ham and pineapple are heated through. Transfer to a large bowl or plate and serve hot.
