Ginger Pineapple Fried Rice
- 2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked
- 3 tablespoons canola oil or 3 tablespoons other high smoke-point oil
- 3 tablespoons ginger, peeled and finely minced
- 5 scallions, finely chopped (white and pale green parts separated from greens)
- 12 teaspoon kosher salt
- 34 cup fresh pineapple, diced (labeled "extra sweet")
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Rinse rice in several changes of cold water in a large bowl until water runs clear.
- Drain in a colander.
- Place rice in a 4-quart heavy saucepan, then add water (amount according to the instructions on the package) and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, again according to the package instructions, usually 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered and undisturbed, 5 minutes.
- Fluff rice with a fork and let cool to almost room temperature.
- Chill, covered with plastic wrap, at least 4 hours.
- Heat a large (12-inch or more) heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 Tbsp of the oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- When oil just begins to smoke, stir-fry ginger, white and pale green parts of scallions, and salt until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the remaining 2 Tbsp oil to the pan.
- Crumble rice into the pan and stir-fry until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
