Instructions to make Pineapple chicken fried rice:
- Bring water to boil, then add rice, turmeric and ½ of olive oil. Reduce the heat to simmer, then cover and cook for about 30 minutes untill the rice is fully cooked and the water has been absorbed.
- Set a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot add 10g of butter and the chicken(cut into 2-3 cm chunks). Sear the chicken on the outside edges untill brown, then cook the chicken completely through, about 5-7 minutes. Then remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium then add remaining ½ olive oil. Add the already minced garlic, then mix to flavor the oil, about a minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Toss in the bell pepper and cook for an additional minute.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and toss in the pineapple(cut into 1cm pieces). Stir everything together for about a minute, then add the rice and the chicken. Fold everything together.
- Lower the heat to medium-low. Mix the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Move the mixture to one side of the skillet then pour in the sauce. As soon as it starts to bubble, immediately and continuously fold the rice mixture into the sauce, ensuring the rice is fully coated and saucy.
- Garnish with green onion and fresh cilantro if desired.

Pineapple fried rice is different from other fried rice because it is the only one cooked with fruits and curry powder.
Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
A lot of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are terrible and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be super nourishing and good for you. Several foods honestly do raise your mood when you consume them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to discover, are great at combating depression. You need to be sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks especially, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for lifting up your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat a few eggs to jolly up!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all helpful for raising your mood. This is possible as these foods have a bunch of magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to feel happier. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight back depression.
Grains can be great for fighting a bad mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are terrific at helping you feel happier. They can help you feel full for longer too, which can help your mood too. Feeling famished can truly bring you down! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard for your body to digest. You digest these grains quicker than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Your mood could truly be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you know that green tea helps you to raise your moods as well!
So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you want to feel better! Try a few of these instead!
