Pineapple Fried Rice With Ham

white rice, uncooked

water

sesame oil

green onions,

ham, diced

peas

pineapple chunks, drained

egg, beaten

white sugar

salt

white pepper

garlic powder

soy sauce

Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Spread cooked rice out on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate until cooled, about 20 minutes.

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Cook and stir the green onions, ham, and peas in the hot oil until onions have softened, about 2 minutes.

Stir the pineapple chunks into the wok; cook until pineapple begins to darken, about 2 minute.

Push ingredients to the side of the wok, and pour beaten egg in the center. Cook until egg begins to set, about 30 seconds. Stir together all contents of the wok.

Mix the cooled rice, sugar, salt, white pepper, and garlic powder into the wok; stir constantly to keep from sticking. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Sprinkle the rice with the soy sauce, and stir to combine.

Flavor 5 stars Easy 5 stars Recipe 5 stars Directions ... 4 stars. Now maybe that is just me. The directions were VERY EASY, but I did it a bit different which for me gave a different texture to the egg in the dish which I liked. I still give the recipe a 5 because it was very good. First, I used fresh garlic, I just don't like garlic powder, maybe just me. Second. I cooked the pineapple first, and also added a bit of thin cut strips of RED PEPPER, I cook it just for 1 minute. Then I added the scallions, fresh garlic and the ham. Cooked another 2 minutes if that. Then rather then adding the egg to the center, I added the rice and mixed everything up just for a few seconds to combine all the flavors. Next I mixed the egg with the soy sauce and sugar (I used only 1 teaspoon which was plenty) and added 1 teaspoon of the pineapple juice, added it to the wok and stirred lightly until the eggs were set. Note: I used leftover Chinese Rice. You know if you order out you always get extra rice. This is what I used. But I usually have leftover rice in my freezer which made this a 10 minute dinner. Next time, I plan to add a little red pepper flakes to the mix to add a little heat. I also think maybe a little water chestnuts would be nice or even some bok choy. But, it still was an excellent recipe AS IS. Very nice and simple to make. Thx Kim

This is a recipe from the Luau restaurant in Memphis TN from the 60's&amp;70's.  The Luau was a polynesian restraunt with a tropical themed decor. Think Mai Tai's and cheesy Hawaiian boxed in music. But  to us Memphians and  the yearly prom goers, it was an  escape!  Anyway this dish is  easy  and  so  soul satisfying.

Luau Restaurant  Celestial Chicken With Supreme Sauce

chicken breasts

half-and-half

flour

paprika

black pepper

sesame seeds (toasted)

parsley (fresh chopped)

canola oil

white rice

butter

chicken bouillon cubes

cayenne pepper

Cut chicken breasts into 1/2 inch strips.

Place sesame seeds in a dry skillet -- toast over  medium heat  until you can smell the oils escape. 5 minutes.

Combine salt, flour, paprika and black pepper and sesame seeds.

Dip chicken strips into half and half then dredge in seasoned flour.

Heat canola oil in frying pan to 375 degrees.

Add chicken strips not to crowd  and  fry til golden brown.

Blend flour and cayenne, add  to butter making a roux.

Add chicken boullion stirring constantly until mixture  has  come  to a full boil.

Lower heat  to  medium -- and  very  slowly  add half and half. Whisking  throughly to  avoid  lumps.

Toss hot  cooked  rice  and maybe  a tbl of  butter with  parsley and  mound  on a platter.

Place  chicken  strips atop rice  and  drizzle  supreme sauce  over  all.

We LOVED going to the Luau when we were in high school.  I still have a couple of the hollowed-out coconuts that they served their ice cream in!  If I remember correctly, the correct name of the sauce was "Heavenly Sauce".

This was so delicious! I scaled it down a little bit as my "nectars" were in little juice boxes that were 200 ml instead of 250. I did just use a small banana and the same amount of coconut milk, but scaled everything else down a little. Andi was right - my taste buds had a big ol' party!!

Many thanks to you Pixie these were beyond delicous!  I did make a couple of changes, I added about a teaspoon of chinese five spice powder when simmering the ribs and omited the salt and the gingerroot as I had none on hand.  I also added two cloves of garlic to the sauce. These were absolutely fabulous we will make them again and again. Thank you again!
