THAI PINEAPPLE RICE

If you’re a fried rice fan, you’ll absolutely love this scrumptious Thai version of fried rice. Delectable in every bite, the flavours burst in a sweet-savory combination of pineapple and soy sauce, at other times you taste the spicy flavor of the rice together with the contrasting texture of nuts and vegetables.

This dish differs from Chinese fried rice in that it is prepared with Thai Jasmine rice instead of regular long-grain rice. It normally contains meat (chicken, shrimp, and crab are all common), egg, onions, garlic and sometimes tomatoes. The seasonings, which may include soy sauce, sugar, salt, possibly some chili sauce, and the ubiquitous nam pla (fish sauce), are stir-fried together with the other ingredients.. The dish is then plated and served with accompaniments like cucumber slices, tomato slices, lime and sprigs of green onion and coriander. This dish has many regional variants, as it is a widespread dish.
