Tropical Fried Rice

I have been feeling really under the weather this weekend so come Sunday night I definitely had zero energy and drive to cook dinner. My wonderful husband stepped up to the plate and made some delicious fried rice! Not only did it taste good but it was point friendly too :) He also just used whatever we had around the house, which is always a plus in recipes because you do not have to go out shopping to find the smallest ingredient that you will only use maybe twice a year. This recipe is not exact so you can play with the amounts according to your taste :) Here is what Steve created:

1 tablespoon coconut oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced (or however much you desire)
1/4 cup onion (diced)
1 scallion (diced)
1 egg
1/2 cup pinapple (diced)
2 cups of brown instant rice (dry)
5oz cooked ham (diced) (we used spiral off the bone ham)
1 teaspoon of terriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
A dash of cinnamon

Cook brown rice according to package then aside. In a large pan or wok, heat the oil then add the garlic, onions and scallions. Saute for a couple of minutes (until garlic & onions are a bit soft). Add the ham to the pan so it browns. Add the egg & scramble it around the pan. Then, add the cooked brown rice, pineapple, cinnamon, terriyaki and soy sauces. Toss all ingredients together in the pan until well blended and heated all the way through. Steve & I topped ours off with Siracha sauce and garlic red pepper sauce because we enjoy spicy food!

This recipe makes 5 cups of this delicious rice and comes in at only 6 Points Plus per cup! I really enjoyed the taste of the coconut, pineapple & cinnamon in this recipe. However, if you are not a huge fan of coconut I would suggest to use only a teaspoon of the oil next time because the taste of the coconut oil was very strong. Hope you enjoy!
