  • Get everthing prepped and ready – chop all the vegetables. Stir in all the ingredients mentioned under the sauce category, whisk and keep it aside near the wok.
  • Place large wok/skillet on high heat. Wait until it’s smoky hot. Pour sesame oil. When oil turns hot add finely chopped ginger and garlic and saute for 1 minute high heat.
  • Add chopped green onions and give it a quick toss. Continue tossing/stirring for 30 seconds.
  • Add chopped carrots and red bell peppers. Toss for 3 minutes stirring continuously. Cook carrots and bell peppers until just done (don’t cook it completely).
  • Add frozen corn and peas (that are pre-cooked) and toss for 2 minutes.
  • Then stir in the cooked rice and season with salt and Thai curry powder(we substituted Thai curry powder with pepper powder) and the soy sauce mix.
  • Next, add the pineapple and the cashews. Stir until well combined.
  • Garnish with little sesame seeds, the green onions, cashews, crushed peanuts. Serve in pineapple bowl warm. Enjoy!
