This Thai
pineapple fried rice is one among my favourite recipes for busy days! It’s
amazing clean to make, healthful, and so yummy. Plus, it’s SO colourful! Eating
this pineapple rice could be like taking a journey to Thailand!
The recipe
for this Thai pineapple fried rice rings a bell in my memory so much of our
remaining trip to Thailand and sunny days at the seashore! It was considered
one of my preferred food there and of route I had to make my own home made
version as soon as I got back home.
Ingredients
- · 1 onion, chopped
- · 1 cup Basmati rice (equals 3 cups cooked rice)
- · 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- · 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin sticks
- · 1 tablespoon oil
- · 1 tablespoon curry powder
- · 2 carrots, cut into thin sticks
- · 1/2 cup frozen peas

- · 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- · 1 cup pineapple, cut into small pieces
- · salt, to taste
- · black pepper, to taste
- · red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- I like the Thai pineapple fried rice best with left-over rice from the day before. So cook the rice according to the instructions on the package and store it in an air-tight container in the fridge until you use it. Cook the frozen peas for about 7 minutes.
- In a large pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion for about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic, the carrots, and the bell pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Then stir in the cooked rice and season with the curry powder and the soy sauce. Next, add the pineapple, the peas, the green onion, and the cashews. Season with salt, black pepper, and if using red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined. Serve with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
