Pineapple Fried Rice

Hi everyone. Today I would to share a simple recipe with you. It is either you will love it or find the taste too alien to your liking. My elder girl loves it and so do I because we love the slight sweetness of the pineapple in our rice while my younger girl feels there is nothing to shout about. My husband, of course cringed at the sweetness but when I made the dish, he had no choice but to eat it. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Here is the recipe

Ingredients

1. 1/2 to 3/4 pineapple
2. 1 big onion
3. 5 pips garlic
4. 1 chicken breast
5. 3 eggs

The amount of each ingredient can be varied. You can add more pineapple to make it sweeter or more meat. You can also add prawns and mushrooms. Don't forget fried rice is a versatile dish, a dish that you can add in anything to your fancy.

Preparation A

1. Cut the pineapple to small cubes or just pieces.
2. Slice the onion
3. Chop up the garlic
4. Slice the chicken to small pieces

Preparation B

1. Scramble your eggs. Add in a dash of pepper and sesame oil. If you like you can add either a pinch of salt or light soya sauce.
2. Heat your wok and once wok is heated, pour in half of your scrambled eggs.
3. Spread the egg out as thin as you can in the wok by turning your wok in a circle, tilting slightly to one side.
4. Fry the egg till slightly brown and then remove it from wok.
5. Cool it then cut it into thin shreds.
6. These shreds will be used later on to mix into your fried rice.

Method

1. Fry the onion first.
2. Then add your garlice and fry till you get a nice fragrance.
3. Lastly put in your pineapple. Stir for a while.
4. Now add in your rice.
5. Stir everything for a while.
6. Add salt to taste.
7. Scoop out your rice into a nice serving dish.
8. Add in your shredded eggs.
9. Voila! your dish is ready.

Tips

1. Always use an onion. It gives a sweet taste and an 'omph' to the taste.
2. Heat up your rice in the microwave. This will help to lessen time of frying. Cold rice takes longer to fry and they tend to be lumpy so you have a tougher time breaking the rice up.
3. Add a little water as you fry so that rice would not dry up when you fry and get stuck to your wok. If you don't you will find much of your rice is left sticking fast and burnt to your wok by the time you finish with frying.
4. You can add an egg in the process of frying. Here in this recipe I don't do it because I like to be able to see the egg and chew on it.
