{"id":32943,"title":"Pineapple Fried Rice","modified":"2025-06-10T15:19:01+02:00","plain":"Pineapple fried rice comes from Thailand, though you will find versions everywhere. Many recipes add only a token splash of soy sauce in the name of being \"healthy\".\n\n\n\nThis recipe stays true to Thai cooking and will whisk you back to mellow evenings in a beach hut in Thailand, toes in the sand and cocktail in hand.\n\n\n\nNot in the mood for fruit? My fried rice will suit you perfectly\n\n\n\nIngredients for pineapple fried rice\n\n\n\nHere is what you need to make Thai pineapple fried rice (the best way!). While it is preferable to use fresh, ripe pineapple, canned pineapple is perfectly acceptable (and much quicker to prepare!). They are fresh in the photos because I am classy (lol)\n\n\n\nAlso try my mango chicken\n\n\n\nDark and light soy sauce: These two soy sauces are very different, and they work together beautifully. Learn more about them here\n\n\n\nOyster sauce: It does not taste like oysters, yet it is rich, delicious, and indispensable. There is no real substitute; here is my article on the subject\n\n\n\nFish sauce: A Thai dish is not complete without good fish sauce. Invest in a quality bottle and you will not regret it. Seriously, it brings an indescribable taste (well, umami) with a gentle, nuanced saltiness\n\n\n\nSesame oil: Its bold flavor should be used sparingly, but sesame oil is one of the key elements of the sauce\n\n\n\n\n\n\tPineapple Fried Rice\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\tWok\t\n\t\n\t\tSAUCE1 tablespoon sesame oil1 tablespoon light soy sauce1 tablespoon dark soy sauce1 tablespoon oyster sauce3 cloves  minced garlic1 teaspoon sugar1 tablespoon fish sauceFOR THE RICE300 g rice, ideally cooked the day before and refrigerated (but most importantly, well rinsed before cooking)4 cloves thinly sliced garlic 2 diced shallots1 sliced chili2 sliced green onion shoots3 beaten eggsVegetable oil (or beef\/duck fat for the purists)1 whole pineapple cut lengthwise\t\n\t\n\t\tPrepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl.Hollow out the pineapple and cut the flesh into small pieces (save the shell to use as bowls)Heat the wok over medium-high heat with about 1.5 cm of oil at the bottom.
