-chilled
(such as jasmine rice)

1/2 c Seeded; diced tomatoes

3 tb Thai fish sauce
1 ts Sugar
3 Green onions; thinly sliced

If serving rice in fresh pineapple, halve the pineapple lengthwise, leaving
the leafy top intact and cutting through it. Hollow out each half,
reserving 1 cup of the fruit for the rice and extra for garnishing. Save
remaining pineapple for another use. Make a small slice on the outside of
each half to create a flat base to hold the pineapple steady. Set aside.
Crumble the cold rice between your fingers to separate the grains, and set
aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok or large skillet, swirling to
coat the pan. Add the onion and toss until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the
garlic and toss until fragrant and soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the
ginger and toss for another minute. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil,
then add the rice. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes over high heat, then add the
beans, tomatoes, and pineapple, and fry 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the fish
sauce and sugar, and toss until ingredients are well combined and rice is
heated thoroughly, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions and toss to
combine. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving platter, or if
using fresh pineapple, fill each half of prepared pineapple with warm rice
and garnish with extra chunks of pineapple. This recipe yields 4 to 6
servings.
