The foundation of any great fried rice dish lies in the rice itself, and for this Fruit Pizza Fried Rice, using chilled, leftover jasmine rice is essential for achieving the best texture and flavor. Freshly cooked rice tends to be too moist and sticky, making it challenging to achieve that desired fried rice consistency. Chilled rice, on the other hand, has had time to dry out slightly, allowing for better separation of grains during cooking.

Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old for the best texture)

1 cup diced mixed fruits (suggestions: strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and blueberries)

1/2 cup mini marshmallows

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chopped nuts (like cashews or almonds)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 green onions, finely sliced

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: whipped cream for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice: Start with chilled, leftover jasmine rice, which should ideally be refrigerated overnight. This helps firm up the rice and reduces moisture, making it easy to fry.

    Heat the Oil: In a large non-stick skillet or wok, warm the sesame oil over medium heat.

      Stir-fry the Rice: Add the cold jasmine rice to the skillet, using a spatula to break up any clumps. Stir-fry the rice for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to heat thoroughly and start developing a slight crispiness.

        Add Flavors: Drizzle the soy sauce and honey over the rice, and stir well to ensure all the grains are evenly coated. Add the vanilla extract and continue stirring for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Incorporate Fruits: Carefully fold in the diced mixed fruits, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut into the rice mixture. Stir gently to prevent breaking the fruit pieces. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fruits are warmed through and slightly softened.

            Finish with Nuts and Green Onions: Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped nuts and sliced green onions. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce or honey if desired.

              Serve Your Dish: Transfer the vibrant fruit pizza fried rice to a serving platter. For a touch of indulgence, drizzle whipped cream on top, if desired, before serving. Enjoy this colorful and sweet twist on traditional fried rice!
