Egg Fried Rice with Pineapple



Here’s a tropical and flavorful recipe for Egg Fried Rice with Pineapple! The sweetness of pineapple balances the savory and spicy flavors, creating a delightful fusion dish.

Ingredients (Serves 2-3):

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old or cooled rice)
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced (canned pineapple works too, but drain it well)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for added flavor)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup capsicum (bell pepper), diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 2 spring onions, chopped (reserve greens for garnish)

Seasonings & Sauces:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar (rice vinegar or white vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for a richer flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs:

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
  2. Pour in the whisked eggs and scramble until just set. Remove and set aside.

2. Stir-Fry the Pineapple:

  1. In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp oil.
  2. Add the diced pineapple and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

  1. Add another drizzle of oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  2. Add onions, carrots, and capsicum. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes on high heat until slightly tender but still crisp.

4. Combine Rice and Sauces:

  1. Add the cooked rice to the pan. Stir-fry for a minute, breaking up any clumps.
  2. Drizzle soy sauce, vinegar, and oyster sauce (if using). Sprinkle in black pepper and chili flakes.
  3. Toss everything together to coat the rice evenly.

5. Add Pineapple and Eggs:

  1. Gently mix in the scrambled eggs and caramelized pineapple chunks.
  2. Stir-fry for another minute to combine and heat through.

6. Garnish and Serve:

  1. Sprinkle with chopped spring onion greens.
  2. Serve hot, with extra chili sauce or lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture, but canned works if fresh isn’t available.
  • For a Thai twist, add a dash of fish sauce or some crushed peanuts for garnish.
  • Include protein like shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a heartier version.

Enjoy your sweet and savory Egg Fried Rice with Pineapple! 🍍🍳🍚
