Instructions
 

Instant Pot Cooking:

  • Press Saute and add Oil in the Instant Pot. When the oil is hot, add onions. Let them saute for 2-3 minutes until they start to change color. Then add Bell Pepper & Cabbage and continue to saute till they turn tender. And lastly, add Ginger & Garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute.
  • Cancel Saute and add all the sauces with the veggies and mix. Add Rice & Water along with Salt and close the lid. Pressure cook for 4 minutes at HIGH pressure level.
  • When timer beeps, NPR (no pressure release) for 10 minutes and then Quick Release. When pressure is released, open the lid. Fluff the rice and stir in pineapple pieces gently.
  • Garnish with some Green Onion and enjoy!

Stove-Top Cooking:

  • Pressure Cook Rice in an Instant Pot or a Stove-Top pressure cooker and set it aside.
  • Add oil in the Wok at medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add Onion and keep sauteing till they change color. Then add Bell Pepper & Cabbage and keep cooking till they turn tender.
  • (Note: You can add Pineapple pieces too at this time, gives a nice charred color to the pineapple pieces and they taste even sweeter.)
  • Add Ginger & Garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Mix in the sauces & salt with the veggies and cook for 1 minute. Then add leftover or boiled Rice and combine everything well. if you haven't added pineapple with the veggies then you can add them at this time.
  • Garnish with some Green Onion and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: This recipe works great when made with some leftover rice. If you don't have it, you can pressure cook the rice and use it in the recipe.
Note 2: You can add pineapple pieces when sauteing the vegetables, gives nice charred color to pineapple pieces and they taste even sweeter. Or you can add them at the end after mixing the rice.
When making in Instant Pot, always add pineapple pieces at the end - it gives a better flavor.
I have also added some air-fried Tofu in Pineapple Fried Rice.
HOW TO MAKE TOFU:
First, wrap tofu in a paper towel and then apply weight over it for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, Tofu will be dry and will not have any water content. Then cut it into pieces and add in your favorite sauce. Add the pieces in an Air-fryer for 10 minutes at 400°F and flip them after 5 minutes for even cooking.
Add them to the Pineapple Fried Rice just before serving.
