How to make Pineapple Fried Rice
It’s nice and quick to make – everything is just fried up in a skillet or wok. Use a large one so you can toss enthusiastically because that’s the key to reducing the sauce down and making it almost “caramelise” the rice grains which = flavour!
What to serve it with
This is a Thai side dish, so obviously Thai foods are no–brainer companions! Thai Cashew Chicken Stir Fry or Thai Satay would be fantastic. If curry is on the brain, I have the favourites covered! Pick from Yellow, Red, Green or Massaman Curries. Meanwhile for a fresh contrast, a Green Papaya Salad is perfect.
Or even just Asian foods!! Still it would be criminal to limit our imaginations to just these cuisines. In fact, as mentioned above, this is the very side that was depicted in Monday’s grilled Honey Soy Chicken which, despite having soy sauce in it, is the only Asian thing about it.
It’s practically a mandatory side for tropical themed menus, it will pair beautifully with Caribbean foods (like Jerk Chicken), or use it to elevate simple mains such as pan seared fish.
I’d weep with happiness if I saw it alongside a pile of sticky BBQ Pork Ribs, slices of ultra tender Beef Brisket, Sticky Chicken or any seared, grilled or baked salmon, shrimp/prawns or fish.
