Add chunks of fresh pineapple to fried rice to transform it into something special. Serve on its own for a family dinner or as part of a banquet

Ingredients

5 ½
tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
2
eggs , beaten
2
garlic cloves , crushed
small bunch of spring onions , chopped
1
⁄2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
400
g cooked long-grain rice
85
g frozen peas
2
tsp sesame oil
2
tbsp low-salt soy sauce
400
g fresh pineapple , roughly chopped into chunks (about 1⁄2 medium pineapple)

Step 1
1 Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok. Add the eggs, swirling them up the sides, to make a thin omelette. Once cooked through, roll the omelette onto a chopping board and cut into ribbons.
Step 2
Heat the remaining oil. Add the garlic, onions and five-spice. Stir-fry until sizzling, then add the rice (if using pouches, squeeze them first, to separate the grains), peas, sesame oil and soy. Cook over a high heat until the rice is hot, then stir through the pineapple and omelette ribbons.
