Pineapple Fried Rice (Thai)
Pineapple Fried Rice (Thai) is one of my tasted and tested versions of the many existing Thai style Fried rice recipes. This dish comes together in no time when you have all the ingredients ready and you can toss it in a ziff.
The secret to any fried rice recipe is the rice that goes in it. It is always good to use a day-old rice. It doesn’t mean that u can’t use fresh cooked rice. The point is when you toss hot rice with any vegetables, there is a chance of the rice breaking or fried rice turning mussy. If you have time, cook the rice ahead and let it cool. you can even keep the rice in the fridge for 2 hours. You can use any rice you prefer.
Well the ingredients that go in this Pineapple Fried Rice (Thai) is on your personal choice. As this is a Thai style fried rice, fish sauce is a must. The balance of the flavors comes with the saltiness of the fish sauce and the sweetness of the pineapple makes this dish everyone’s favorite.
