Pineapple Fried Rice

Step 1

1 Cut the pineapple in halves lengthwise and cut pieces out of the middle and carve out the middle creating a bowl. Cut about 1 cup of pineapple pieces into a medium dice for making the fried rice.

Step 2

2 In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil for about a minute or until whisps of white smoke appears. Add the dried shrimp, garlic, shallots, ginger and Chinese sausage and cook stirring constantly until sausage starts to crisp, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

3 Stir in the shrimp and cook until the shrimp starts to turn pink, about 1 minute. Fold in the rice; making sure not to break the rice grains. Stir pushing down with the flat side of the spatula in small circular motions. This will separate the grains without breaking them. Cook for an additional minute until rice start to get hot.

Step 4

4 Stir in the fish sauce, soybean sauce, sugar and curry powder. Continue to stir it for another minute until well combined. Fold in the pineapple and incorporate it well for another 1 to 2 more minutes.

Step 5

5 Fold in the green onions and white pepper. Transfer the fried rice into the halved pineapple. Garnish it with some fresh cilantro.
