Pineapple Fried Rice

To make pineapple fried rice with seafood and vegetables, start by cooking steamed rice and letting it cool. Then, beat some eggs and set them aside. In a pan, heat chili oil and stir-fry prawns until cooked. Add the scrambled eggs, diced ham, red sausage, carrots, sweet corn, green peas, and pineapple. Mix in the cooled rice and season with salt, sugar, seasoning sauce, chicken powder, and yellow powder. Stir-fry everything together until well combined and serve in a hollowed-out pineapple for a tropical presentation.

Yes, you can easily make pineapple fried rice without seafood. Simply omit the prawns and increase the amount of vegetables or add tofu for a protein boost. You can also substitute the seafood with additional ham or sausage to maintain flavor and texture.

To store leftover pineapple fried rice, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, add a splash of water to prevent it from drying out and heat it in a pan or microwave until warmed through.

Pineapple fried rice pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. You can serve it alongside grilled chicken, shrimp, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Additionally, a side of spring rolls or a light soup can complement the tropical flavors of the fried rice.
