Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

April 22, 2015 By Vidya 3 Comments

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

Thai is the only food that all the 4 of us seem to love to the same degree. So most often our restaurant visits end up being Thai. After ordering the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice for the umpteenth time I decided to try it at home last month. Came out pretty good  I’d say close to what they serve at restaurants. Yum….

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

My version includes both shrimp and chicken ‘coz well we like it that way along with the usual culprits pineapple, cashews, egg, and tomatoes.

Left over cooked rice works great for this recipe but if you are cooking rice specifically for fried rice I’d suggest washing/rinsing the rice a couple of times first to remove excess starch. I also like to cook the rice like pasta, in a bowl of boiling water, al dente, and draining all the excess water in a colander. Spreading the rice on a plate and cooling off in the refrigerator helps separate the grains.

This fried rice is best served as soon as cooked, warm and steamy.

Instructions
  1. Dry off the pineapple slices on a paper towel to take any excess syrup off.
  2. Marinate the chicken pieces with salt for 10 mins and shallow fry till golden brown. Remove from heat and save for later.
  3. In the same oil, sauté the whole shrimp first and then the small pieces. Keep aside.
  4. Add more oil to the pan if you need to. Crack open the egg into the hot pan and stir continuously to break it up.
  5. Just before the eggs set add the cooked rice. Stir gently to get the rice and egg mixed evenly.
  6. Add the onions, curry powder, sugar, salt, pepper powder and mix well.
  7. Add all the sauces.
  8. When the rice is mixed well add cashews, small shrimp pieces, chicken, and pineapple. Turn the flame to low while still mixing.

Love this outdoor space with a beautiful red and blue outdoor decor with a flamingo pillow, metal tray side table, and loads of green plants

Finally the long overdue post, our new screened in porch reveal. This space has undoubtedly become our favorite room in the house now. To tell you the truth, I was against the idea of ripping apart our good size deck and replacing it with a screened in porch but B insisted that this was the…
