Ingredients
- 20 oz can pineapple tidbits drained and juice reserved
- ¾ cups uncooked long grain rice
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 diced green onions
Instructions
- Take your reserved pineapple juice and add enough water to get 1 3/4 cups of liquid.
- In a medium sauce pan, combine the liquid, rice, and salt.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 18 minutes until rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. It is ok to have a very small amount of liquid in the rice.
- Add the pineapple to the rice. Fluff the rice with a fork, mixing in the pineapple at the same time. Cover and let sit for a few minutes to warm up the pineapple.
- Add the green onion to the rice and fluff again with a fork while mixing in the green onion. Serve. Makes 6 servings.
