Pineapple Curried Fried Rice
- 1 whole Pineapple, Skinned And Cubed (or 1 Can Of Cubed Pineapple In Syrup) - You Won't Need All Of It
- 3 Tablespoons Oil Or Butter
- 1 bulb Yellow Onion, Chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Salted Fish, Minced (or Anchovies)
- 3 Tablespoons Curry Powder (or Tom Yam Paste)
- 4 cups Cooked Long-grained Rice (or Brown Rice)
- 1/2 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 Tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cups Cooked Meat (I Used Shredded Chicken Meat But Even Sliced Boiled Sausages Work)
- 1 whole Green Capsicum/Pepper (I Roasted Mine On The Stove But Not Necessary), Cubed
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1) Prepare the ingredients. Cubing fresh pineapple will take a bit of time but if you have a good knife, it helps. My pineapple was a bit sour so I stirred in 3 tablespoons of sugar and let them sit for a while. Gave it a nice sweet, sour taste. (Psst: Ree has give a great outline on how to dissect a fresh pineapple here - https://tastykitchen.com/cooking/2010/06/pineapple-mango-salsa/)
- 2) Or if you'd rather skip that, use a large can of cubed pineapple.
- 3) Fire up the wok and heat up the oil, throwing the onions in. Let them fry, stirring occasionally, until translucent and fragrant.
- 4) Added minced garlic and salted fish/anchovies (if these are not available, just omit or squirt some fish sauce in later when you season with salt & pepper). Fry in medium-high heat until fragrant but not brown.
- 5) Add pineapples into the wok (if you used canned, do not put in the syrup or your rice would turn to mush) - use as many pineapple cubes as you want. We like it pineapple-y so I added everything.
- 6) Add in the curry powder and fry till fragrant (if you have paste, you may use it as well).
- 7) Pour in the rice and give it a good stir to break up the large chunks.
- 8 ) If your rice looks dry, add in enough chicken broth or hot water to desired consistency.
- 9) Add in soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Finally, throw in the capsicum (pepper) and cooked chicken meat (if you weren't using raw meat) and give it a good few stirs before dishing up.
- * Like all fried rice recipes, this is very versatile. Use any cooked meat you have. I used leftover chicken from the chicken broth I made. If you want to use uncooked minced meat, add it in after the garlic and fry till no longer pink. Shrimps are great here too.
- ** Use any vegs you have. Tomatoes, celery... anything. So long as it requires little cooking.
- *** I always cook my rice the night before. So since we have rice almost every night, when I decide to make fried rice the day after, I would cook a double batch and refrigerate half.
- **** This would taste so good with tom yam paste.
