Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chilled rice, breaking up clumps with a spoon, and toss until each grain is coated and heated through, 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in carrots and peas, cooking until the peas are warmed, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour soy sauce over the rice and toss to combine, then fold in the diced pineapple gently.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the rice between two bowls and top each with fresh cucumber slices.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the rice is still warm and the cucumbers are crisp.
