Recipe Categories:
Start by cooking 1 cup of jasmine rice according to package instructions, substituting half the water with 1 cup of coconut milk for a creamy texture.
While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add 1 cup of diced fresh pineapple and 1/4 cup of soy sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
For a spicy kick, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and stir well. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve it on plates topped with the spicy ground beef and pineapple mixture.
Garnish with chopped green onions and a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness. Enjoy your tropical-inspired dinner!
