Pineapple Fried Rice

If you're a fried rice fan, you'll absolutely love this scrumptious Thai version of pineapple fried rice. The best part about this dish is that every bite-ful is a burst of flavours and texture,  sometimes you get a sweet-savory combination of pineapple and prawns, at other times you taste the spicy flavor of the rice together the birds eye chili, or the contrasting texture of dried shrimps.


 There's a little prep work involved, but the actually cooking time is fast and easy. Makes a great dish for everyday eating as well as parties. ENJOY!

Pineapple Fried Rice Recipe Ingredients:
Leftover and overnight rice
Garlic (finely chopped)
Fresh or canned pineapple (cut into small pieces)
Prawns
Dried shrimp

Pineapple juice
Birds eye chili (seeded and cut into small pieces)

Method:

Add rice, pineapple pieces, pineapple juice, and do a few quick stirs. Add the rest of the seasoning to blend well with rice. Stir-fry for another minute or so, dish out and serve immediately with fried anchovies and an egg.
