  • Servings: 2
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Print

Sweet, salty, & spicy stir-fry that's crisp, fresh, and juicy. Serve alongside jasmine rice for an easy meal.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 c pineapple chunks, drained*
  • 2 1/2 tbsps vegan fish sauce*
  • 2 tbsps toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tbsp dried chilis in oil*
  • heavy pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Heat a large wok (or high-walled sauté pan) over high heat. Once extremely hot, add in sesame oil, green beans, pineapple, and a heavy pinch of salt. Cook, tossing frequently, until pineapple is browned and green beans are snappy but cooked through; about 7 minutes.
  2. Add in fish sauce, chilis in oil, and cook until green beans & pineapple are lightly caramelized; about 2 more minutes.
  3. Serve immediately! Enjoy alongside Thai jasmine rice for an easy meal or with another Asian-inspired dish like Garlicky Fried Rice, Sweet & Tangy Orange Chicken, or Honey Glazed Jackfruit Wings.

*We know it’s weird to recommend canned fruit over fresh fruit, because that’s sooo not trendy, but we prefer the tender and sweeter flavor of canned pineapple to stiff and acidic fresh pineapple. Plus, determining the ripeness and hacking apart fresh pineapple is a chore. Our advice: purchase diced pineapple in natural juices for the best results.

*You can find vegan fish sauce for mad cheap in most Oriental markets. Just check the aisle where you’d find normal fish sauce!

*The chili oil we used for this dish is by a brand called Dynasty and it’s labeled as “Hot Chili Oil.” It can also be found in Oriental markets for real cheap. The main ingredients are soybean oil, dried chilis, ginger oil, and garlic oil. However, any chilis in oil will work.

    1. Oh yes! We guess your a pineapple on pizza person as well?

      The pineapple in this recipe just absorbs all the flavor from the oil & vegan fish sauce, which gives it a burst of umami and sweetness when you bite into it. It definitely steals the show here, but we’re okay with that.
