Of course you can! I proved this by putting a healthy spin on Thai Pineapple Fried Rice.
To start, I sautéed a red bell pepper, garlic, green onions, and a tiny tiny bit of habanero chili pepper. Then added 1 egg.
Mixed in a the sauce of vegetable broth, tamari (wheat free soy sauce), curry powder, and stevia.
Threw in roasted cashews.
Next came the left-over brown rice. It should be about 1-2 days old. Mine was 3 because I’m such a rebel.
And last but not least, the pineapple, raisins, and frozen peas were tossed in the skillet.
(Don’t mind the beat up measuring cup).
Okay, I realize those directions aren’t very precise, but that’s the just of it. I actually used this recipe as inspiration, so if you want a real recipe with real directions, measurements, and all that jazz I would recommend visiting the link.
Thai Pineapple BROWN Fried Rice is served.
And it case you were wondering if the rice was good, I ate it for last night’s dinner, today’s lunch and today’s dinner. It’s gone now.
In other EBF house news, Isaac set up a cute little table on our back deck yesterday so I’m blogging from the new spot I have claimed as my own.
It was extremely hot and humid today, but the sun is down and there’s a nice little breeze blowing. I think I can get used to this.

Yes, you can! Funny, I just made this last nite w/some brown rice leftovers.
I did old school chinese style w/soy sauce, eggs, scallions, garlic and bacon (in place of bbq pork).
Good stuff! Yours looks so pretty w/all those colors. Like a work of art
Cue mouth water! that recipe looks amazing!

Beautiful pictures! enjoy your new blog spot!
I think the question should be, “Can you make Brown Fried Rice FOR ME?” Cause I’d eat that any day of the week!!!!
This sounds delicious. This macrobiotic place near me has “not” fried-rice, but I’ve never actually made it at home yet!
You can also make Risotto using Quinoa. We call it Quinoa-sotto around our house.
YUM! All those ingredients look delicious together! Score! Aw cute table, and a great place to sit!
Holy Yum! That looks amazing! You’re such a little chef!!
Love outdoor patio blogging – it’s the best
Yum (in regards to the food) and How Nice (in regards to the space). Lovely post all around
That looks delicious! I love the cashew picture – I want to eat them all
Enjoy your patio!! Summer evenings with a slight breeze are wonderful, aren’t they?
*gasp* I can’t wait to make that fried brow rice!!!!
mmm . . . looks yummy! I’m a rebel too with the leftovers, but about 3-4 days is good
My fiancee will eat just about anything when I tell him that he really should not eat eat lol What a great blogging spot, looks so swank! Have a great weekend!

I love pineapple fried rice… we order it every time we get Thai. If I have time I am going to make that next week!
I’ve always wondered why restaurants don’t serve this
you can make fried rice with anything! I bet it’d be good with barley or quinoa too. Love the roasted cashews.
That sounds so good! Adding pineapple, cashews, and raisins makes that sound so much more interesting than regular old fried rice.
love the recipe – and your “rebel-dom” using 3 day old rice
fab new bloggin spot!!!
Thanks for posting this recipe! In my “unhealthy” days I loved fried rice, so I’m excited to try this healthier version. I really enjoy reading your blog and finding new ideas for healthy meals. Thanks!
Wow!! That looks amazing! I’ll have to try it! Love the new blogging spot!
YUM!!! i love brown rice with anything…

I’ve never had a thai pineapple fried rice, but I think I might need to try something like this, as it sounds delicious
