Thai Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp

September 9, 2011 By Lokness Leave a Comment

Bryan and I like to go to Thai restaurant. Our favorite is yellow curry, but pineapple fried rice also comes very close. When I came across something I really like in restaurant, I like to try to make it at home if I can. This pineapple fried rice is pretty good, and it is very easy to make. I used canned pineapple because it is a lot more convenient, but I am sure fresh pineapple would be better.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimps (Adapted from About.com)

3 – 4 servings

Ingredients:

–   2 cups uncooked rice

–   ½ pound medium shrimps

–   1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)

–   ½ cup roasted unsalted cashews

–   ¼ cup raisins

–   2 shallots (thinly sliced)

–   3 green onions (finely diced)

–   3 garlic cloves (minced)

–   1 egg (beaten)

–   1 red or green chili (finely chopped, de-seeded for mild flavor)

–   vegetable oil

Sauce:

–   3 tablespoons chicken stock

–   3 tablespoons fish sauce

–   2 teaspoons curry powder

–   1 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

  1. Cook the rice in a rice cooker. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool in room temperature for at least 2 hours. If you can, cook the rice the night before, and let the rice cool in the fridge overnight.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
  3. In a wok over medium-high heat, heat up 3 tablespoons oil. Add the shallots, chili, and garlic. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the shrimps and stir for 3 – 4 minutes until cook through and the color is pink. Take out the shrimps and set aside.
  4. Push the shallots, chili and garlic aside to cook the egg. Pour the beaten egg to wok and scramble it. Separate the eggs into small pieces with a spatula. Add the cashews and stir for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the sauce into the wok. Add the cooked rice, and stir until the rice is evenly covered. Make sure to separate the rice that has stuck together.
  6. Put in the raisins, pineapple, and cooked shrimps. Stir to mix and cook for 3 – 4 minutes. Taste to try. If needed, add extra fish sauce for seasoning. Add the chopped green onions at the last minute. Mix well. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. If you don’t have fish sauce, you can substitute it with soy sauce.
  2. If you are not a fan of shrimp, you can use chicken.

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
