Easy Pineapple Fried Rice (Thai Style)

June 25, 2019 By Victoria

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

One of the popular among fried rice dishes is the Pineapple fried rice, which is also one of the Thai favorites.

Many Thai restaurants will serve pineapple fried rice inside the pineapple itself. That can be achieved easily by carefully scoring out all the flesh, leaving the skin/shell intact to be a container.

However, if you’re short on time, a quick take of pineapple fried rice is below. I promised, the taste will still be as appetizing as the original, and you can even use frozen cut/can pineapple for it, just to save time.

Shrimp was chosen as the main protein in this dish, as their natural sweetness and succulent texture would complement the whole flavor perfectly. However, you can replace it with chicken, tofu, or simply skip them for a fully vegetarian version. If so, instead of fish sauce, just use normal table salt instead.

To spice up the flavor, even more, I add a very little amount of curry powder. This achieves 2 goals, one is adding a little bit of spiciness and two is to make the rice look more appealing in a yellow hue. Not big on spice and bold flavor? You can substitute by an equal amount of turmeric powder to get the same marvelous look. Nevertheless, just remember to add and mix them well with rice before any other non-yellow ingredients (e.g. shrimps).
