Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

1 cup mixed tropical fruits (such as pineapple, mango, kiwi, and strawberries), diced

1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small red onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for a cheesy twist)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by ensuring that the jasmine rice is cooked and cooled. This helps prevent the rice from becoming mushy during frying. Dice all fruits and vegetables, keeping them separate to ensure even cooking and flavor development.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced red onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

      Add Bell Peppers: Add the chopped red and green bell peppers to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until they are tender.

        Fry the Rice: Increase the heat to high and add the cooked jasmine rice. Using a spatula, stir-fry the rice, breaking up any clumps and incorporating the vegetables. Continue to fry for about 5-7 minutes until the rice is heated through and begins to slightly crisp at the bottom.

          Incorporate Sauces: Drizzle the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil over the rice. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the rice is evenly coated with the sauces. Add the optional crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

            Add the Fruits: Gently fold in the mixed diced tropical fruits, being careful not to mash them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the fruits are warmed and the flavors start to meld.

              Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re adding mozzarella for a cheesy twist, distribute it evenly over the top of the rice mixture. Allow it to melt slightly for about a minute.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Dish out servings of the fried rice onto plates and garnish with sliced green onions and fresh mint leaves for an added burst of flavor.

                  Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot, offering additional soy sauce and lime wedges on the side for a tangy zest.
