One of my all-time favorite dishes is Authentic Thai Pineapple Fried Rice. It's a perfect balance of savory and sweet, with the aroma of curry adding an irresistible depth of flavor. I typically use a range of ingredients from my kitchen for this recipe, including fresh pineapple, pork, Chinese sausage, raisins, cashew nuts, eggs, fish sauce, soy sauce, curry powder, spring onions, and leftover chilled rice.
Together, these ingredients create a unique and tasty Thai Fried Rice that sets it apart from others. The combination of curry powder and fish sauce, the crunchy texture of the cashews and raisins, the sweetness of the pineapple, and the presentation in a pineapple bowl make this dish a true standout.
Reminder: All ingredients can be adjusted to your liking.
Important: This meal gets cooked fast so be sure to mix all the sauces together before you start cooking.
To make this recipe, you are going to need:
- Half pineapple
- 3 cups chilled leftover rice
- 100 g. pork, cut into bite-sized pieces, or any protein of your choice such as chicken or shrimp
- 3 eggs
- 50 g. raisins
- 50 g. roasted cashew nuts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon curry powder
- 3 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon black soy sauce (optional for more appealing and appetizing rice)

Tips #1: Use chilled leftover rice to prevent rice from getting soggy.
Tips #2: Use fresh pineapple instead of canned pineapple. Fresh pineapples are not too artificially sweet and juicy. Also, the pineapple peels make for a cool-looking bowl.
Tips #3: Use Chinese sausages to naturally add sweet and salty flavors to every bite.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make Authentic Thai Pineapple Fried Rice Recipe:
1 To prepare a pineapple, start by cutting it in half with a sharp knife. Then, carefully slice around the perimeter of the fruit, removing the skin. Make a horizontal cut along either side of the core, and use a spoon to scoop out the cubed fruit. Place the diced pineapple in a bowl for later use.
2 To start, heat a wok or large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is browned and fragrant.
3 Next, add the pork to the pan and stir until it is fully cooked. Once the pork is cooked, set it aside in the pan.
4 Add some eggs and stir frequently until they are scrambled and lightly cooked.
5 Add some chilled leftover rice and continue to stir.
6 Add Chinese sausages, cashew nuts, and raisins on top.
7 Pour in the mixed sauce and continue to stir until it is well combined with the rice.
8 Pour in pieces of the pineapple and curry powder, and continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and dry.
9 Lower the heat and add some spring onion. Stir for a few seconds to distribute the onion evenly.
10 Serve in a fancy pineapple bowl we just scooped out and that is it.
