1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
8 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, and diced
1 cup chopped green onion

Cook the rice according to package instructions.
When the rice is almost done cooking, sauté the red pepper and shiitake mushrooms in the canola oil for 3 minutes.
Add the green onion and pineapple.
Continue to sauté for 1 more minute.
Using a fork, add the rice to the vegetables in the pan.
Cook, breaking up the rice by stirring it, until it is well combined.

*If desired, you can enhance the flavor of the pineapple by "caramelizing."
In a nonstick pan over high heat, stir well-drained pineapple until it is slightly golden (about 5 to 10 minutes).
