Curry Pineapple Fried Rice

     

You would think that the flavors of curry and pineapple wouldn’t go together, but they do. My implementation of a dish at my favorite Thai restaurant.

Original recipe makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
3 cups water
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless chicken meat, cubed
1 onion, sliced

Directions

  1. 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. Set the cooked rice aside. Mix together curry powder, fish sauce, and pineapple juice in a small bowl.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers, and cook and stir the chicken and onion until the chicken is no longer pink and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, pineapple chunks, and curry mixture, and cook and stir until the fried rice is hot, 5 to 10 minutes.
