Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 to 3 tablespoons oil (divided)
3 to 4 cups cooked rice (preferably several days old)
3 tablespoons soy sauce (substitute fish sauce if nonvegetarian)
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 shallots (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1 red or green chile (thinly sliced) or 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon dried crushed chile flakes
1/4 cup vegetable stock or mock chicken stock (or regular chicken stock if nonvegetarian)
1 egg ( vegans can omit)
Optional: 1 small carrot (grated, about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 small can pineapple chunks (drained) or 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1/4 cup currants or raisins
1/2 cup roasted unsalted whole cashews
Salt (to taste)
Optional: freshly squeezed lime juice
3 scallions (finely sliced)
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Using your fingers to separate any chunks into grains, mix 1 tablespoon of oil with the rice. Set aside.
  • In a cup, stir the soy sauce together with the curry powder. Set aside.
  • Drizzle the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots, garlic, and chile, stir-frying until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Once the pan becomes dry, add 1/4 cup of stock to keep all veggies sizzling.
  • Crack the egg into the wok and stir quickly to cook as though you are scrambling eggs.
  • Add the carrot and peas. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, adding more stock if needed.
  • Add the rice, pineapple chunks, currants, and cashews . Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.
  • Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over and gently stir-fry to combine over medium-high to high heat until the rice makes popping sounds, about 5 to 8 minutes, or until your preferred texture is achieved.
  • Mix well until the rice is of an even color. If desired, you can push ingredients aside and add a little more oil to the pan to give your rice that special "shine" you see in restaurant fried rice.
  • Remove from heat. Do a taste test, adding more soy sauce if needed. Add lime juice and taste again. If too salty for your taste, add more lime juice .
  • Scoop rice onto a serving platter or into a carved-out pineapple to serve. Top with the cilantro and chopped scallions.
