Ingredients

1 tbsp. soy sauce, or more to taste
3 tbsp. minced fresh cilantro
1/2 cup green onions, green portion, sliced
3 large eggs
2 cups diced fresh pineapple
2 cups diced ham
2 tsp. peeled and minced fresh ginger
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/3 cup green onions, light portion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tsp. sesame oil, divided
1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups coconut water or water
1 1/4 cups coconut milk
1 1/3 cups jasmine rice, rinsed well and drained well

Method

01

In a medium saucepan bring coconut milk, coconut water, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Add in rice, cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about 15 - 18 minutes.
02

Remove rice from heat and let rest off heat 10 minutes. While rice is resting, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp sesame oil in 12-inch (and deep) skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat.
03

Add bell pepper and light green onions to the skillet and saute until peppers are tender about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger, then toss in ham and pineapple and let cook until heated through about 1 minute.
04

Scoot everything in the pan to one far side. Add remaining 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp sesame oil to the now-empty side of the skillet. Add eggs, season lightly with salt and scramble and cook until just set.
05

Add in rice, green portion of green onions and cilantro and drizzle in soy sauce and toss everything. Serve warm with sriracha if desired.
