RECIPE NOTES

1. This vegan version of fried rice is a perfect meal for vegans and vegetarians. But feel free to add your favorite meat/seafood or eggs.
2. You can also make this pineapple fried rice with freshly cooked and cooled rice. But in my opinion, leftover rice works great here. So in one way this pineapple fried rice is a charmingly addictive way to use up leftovers.
3. Fish sauce is also added to this fried rice, but I didn?t add any here. So if you like fish sauce, feel free to add it to this rice.
