Thailand Pineapple Fried Rice

Good evening dear viewers! 

Back for the day for another exciting recipe that personally had leave a memory in me. I still remember the first time I ate this Thailand Pineapple Rice. I was being so excited of how wonderful it taste and how all the elements are so balance. I was five back then by the way =). I would always pick all the pineapple bits from other's plate of fried rice because I love pineapples! The tangyness set my taste buds tingling all the way.

So here goes the recipe. This recipe I'm about to share can serves 4-5 person.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

Ingredients :

• 1 fresh pineapple*
• 3 cups Steamed Rice
• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 2 onions, chopped
• 1 green chilli, chopped
• 2 tbsp raisins 
• 2 tbsp toasted cashewnuts 
• 50 gm of chicken breast meat
• 50 gm of fresh prawn (de-shell and de-vein)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• salt to taste
• 1 tsp of curry powder paste
• pinch of turmeric powder (for the colour)
• sesame seeds

*make sure the pineapple is half ripe

Steps :

1. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, keeping the leaves on. Scoop out the flesh with a sharp knife to leave 2 shells with a thin border of flesh attached.
2. Chop half the pineapple flesh to use in the dish. The remaining half of the flesh is not needed for this recipe.(I would usually snacks on the remaining flesh of the pineapple)
3. Heat the butter in a wok, add the onions and green chilli and fry till soft and frangrant. Add the curry paste and fry for 1 more minute.
4. Add the chopped pineapple,chicken and the prawn. Cooked until the chicken meat is no longer raw.
5. Add the cooked rice, coconut cream, raisins and cashew nuts and stir till all the coconut cream has been absorbed.
6. Add the sugar and salt.If desire,add more turmeric powder to give that yellowish colour onto the rice.
7. Spoon the rice mixture into the empty pineapple shells.
8. Serve hot and garnished with roasted sesame seeds.

Believe me,you will be wanting for more of it once you have tasted it.

This would be my facial expression everytime I;m having this dish.

Happy Cooking and Good Luck!
