- ½ cup raw unsalted and chopped cashews
- ¾ cup chopped green onions

Instructions
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the onion, ginger, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. (if you are not using a non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil).
- After 2 minutes, add the pineapple, bell pepper, and cashew, continue cooking, stirring, for 4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crunchy.

Notes
The pineapple fried rice can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
For fried rice, use rice cooked the day before. It's slightly drier than freshly prepared rice, and it won't stick in the pan.
