Pineapple Fried Rice

When I cook rice I will always cook extra so I can make fried rice the next day. This dish is a nice change from your ordinary fried rice. A very popular dish at the Thai restaurant serve in a hollowed out pineapple shell and you've got a show-stopper if you serve this to your family or any get together with friends.

Ingredients :

1 cup pineapple chunks – fresh is better but canned will work too
3 cups of cooked overnight rice
1 piece of chicken breasts - cut in thin strips
10 fresh shrimps – clean and roughly chopped
1 pepper – cut into cubes
1 small onion – cut into small cubes
2 cloves of garlic – chopped
2 spring onions – cut small
1 tbsp of curry powder
2 tbsp of fish sauce
2 tbsp of soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a wok or a large pan, heat up about 3 tbsp of oil over high heat.
2. Add in onions and garlic and stir-fry until lightly brown and fragrant.
3. Add in chicken, stir-fry until it changes color, add in pepper and shrimps. Stir fry for another minute and add curry powder, fish sauce and soy sauce.
4. Add in rice and pineapple chunks. Stir-fry until everything is well combined and hot. Check seasoning and add salt if necessary. Add in spring onions.
5. Serve rice in pineapple shell and garnish with some spring onions.

    This is my favorite kind of fried rice! I didn't add shrimp because it normally gives me a headache. I added eggs, broccoli, and cashews. I couldn't afford the fresh pineapple so I used canned. This was so awesome. I love the fact that I didn't have to buy a seasoning blend as I've had to do with other fried rice dishes. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!
