Curry Pineapple Fried Rice
This is my version of a pineapple and curry fried rice dish served at my favorite Thai restaurant. You might think that the flavors of curry and pineapple wouldn't go together, but they do.
Ingredients
-
3 cups water
-
1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
-
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
-
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
-
1 tablespoon curry powder
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 pound boneless chicken meat, cubed
-
1 medium onion, sliced
-
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
Description
-
Combine water and rice in a saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set rice aside.
-
Whisk fish sauce, pineapple juice, and curry powder together in a small bowl.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook and stir chicken and onion in hot oil until chicken is no longer pink and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in cooked rice, pineapple chunks, and curry mixture; cook and stir until rice is hot, 5 to 10 minutes.
