@morgan: Pineapple fried rice – a combo made in heaven. Try it and see why it’s one of my favourites 🍍 - 500g day old steamed jasmine rice, cold 2tbsp vegetable Oil 300g chicken breast or thigh, sliced (or your choice of protein) 50g cashews 1/2 onion, finely diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 4 springs spring onion, finely diced 2 eggs, whisked 1tsp curry powder 1tbsp Thai Basil, roughly chopped 1/2tsp white pepper Salt, to taste 1tsp shrimp paste 1tsp MSG (optional) 2tsp fish sauce 1 tomato, diced 1/4 fresh pineapple, diced Fresh lime, to serve Cucumber, to serve Spring Onion, sliced, to serve Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add half the oil and let it heat up for a minute. Add the chicken and flash fry for around 30 seconds, then drain and set aside. Add the cashews and toast, set aside. Add the remaining oil, then add the onion, garlic and spring onion and cook for a minute, until fragrant. Set aside. Add the whisked eggs and cook until they are scrambled and cooked through. Add the rice to the pan and stir fry whilst breaking up. Return everything else to the pan then add the shrimp paste, curry powder, Thai Basil, pineapple, tomatoes, msg (if using), fish sauce, salt, pepper. Cook for a few minutes, until the rice is heated through and the flavours are well-mixed. Serve the fried rice hot, with a squeeze of fresh lime and some sliced cucumber on the side and garnish with spring onion. Enjoy!
