Quick & Easy Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 Cups Cooked Jasmine Rice
  • 1 Whole Ripe Pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons Oil
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 Finely Chopped Onion
  • 1/2 Diced Green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup Diced Carrot
  • 2 diced Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground White Pepper
  • For garnish Fresh Cilantro
  • 1/4 cup Roasted Cashews or Peanuts

Instructions:

  1. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh of the pineapple leaving 1/2 inch thick border around the edges to create the pineapple 'bowl'. Save the scooped out pineapple and dice it for the rice.
  2. Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion to the pan, sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned.
  3. Add the chicken to the wok and cook it complete, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the diced green bell pepper and carrot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the veggies are soft.
  4. Push all of the ingredients in the wok to one side to create an open space on the other side. Crack the eggs into this space and scramble them with a spatula. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the rest of the ingredients in the wok.
  5. Turn the heat to high, add the cooked rice, diced pineapple, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until all of the ingredients are mixed well.
  6. Fill the hollowed out pineapple halves with the fried rice, garnish with fresh cilantro and roasted cashews or peanuts, and serve immediately.
