ASIAN-STYLE SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Halve the pineapple lengthwise, cut out the flesh, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells, and reserve the shells. Discard the core and cut enough of the pineapple into 1/2-inch pieces to measure 1 1/2 cups, reserving the remaining pineapple for another use. In a bowl combine the pineapple pieces, the bell pepper, the scallions, and the jalapeño pepper. In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, the sugar, the anchovy paste, the turmeric, and 1 tablespoon water.
• In a wok or heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it stir-fry the shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes, or until they are just firm, and transfer them to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in the oil stir-fry the garlic for 5 seconds, or until it is golden. Add the rice and stir-fry the mixture for 30 seconds, or until the rice is hot. Add the soy mixture and stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute. Add the pineapple mixture and the shrimp, stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute, or until it is hot, and stir in the coriander. Serve the fried rice in the reserved pineapple shells if desired.

ASIAN ESSENTIALS: EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

Cook the rice according to package directions, then spread it out on a baking sheet, and let cool, and dry for an hour or two. It is not the same as using day-old rice, but it is pretty close.

• 5. Add a tablespoon of the grapeseed oil to a skillet over medium heat, allow to heat up, then add 2/3 thirds of the egg mixture.
• 6. Chef's Note: You do not have to be precise; however, of the whisked eggs, add about two of them, and leave the remainder in the bowl.
• 7. Lightly scramble, then remove from the pan, and reserve.
• 8. Add the remaining tablespoon of grapeseed oil to the skillet, let come up to temperature, and add the rice.
• 9. Use a spatula to lightly toss the rice until it heats up, then add the remaining whisked egg.
• 10. Toss until the egg is combined with the rice, and beginning to cook, then add the tamari sauce, and sesame oil.
• 11. Toss to combine, then add the reserved scrambled eggs.
• 12. Toss to combine with the rice, until warmed through, about 2 - 3 minutes.
• 13. Chef's Note: Do a final tasting for proper seasoning.
• 14. PLATE/PRESENT

Steps:

• 1 Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it crisps up, about 15 minutes, transfer the crunchy bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
• While you're crisping the bacon, toss the cauliflower into a food processor, and pulse until it's the size of rice grains. Pro tip: don't overdo it. We don't want liquid cauliflower.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the eggs into the hot bacon drippings, and fry up a thin egg omelet. Remove the omelet from the pan, slice it into ribbons, and set aside.
• Melt the ghee in the skillet over medium-high heat, and add the onions along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Once the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, throw in the sliced mushrooms. When the mushrooms are browned, add the grated ginger and stir for 30 seconds to incorporate.
• Add the cauliflower "rice," season with a bit more salt and pepper, and mix the ingredients together. Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat down to low, and cook for about 5 minutes with the skillet covered. The "rice" is ready when it's tender but not mushy.
• Season with the coconut aminos, coconut vinegar, and fish sauce. Before serving, mix in the scallions, cilantro, omelet slices, and the reserved crispy bacon.
