Pineapple Fried Rice

Pineapple fried rice is a Thai flavored rice with sweet, spicy and tangy taste. Basil leaves enhance the aroma of this rice. Pineapple tastes really well ,when it is paired with chilies. This rice is a wholesome meal as it has lots of vegetables, sweet taste of Pineapple and spiciness of red chilies. This is one of my favorite rice recipes. The recipe is so simple, you can make it anytime, for Lunch, dinner or you can pack the rice in your lunchbox. I have used fresh Pineapple. If fresh Pineapple is not available, you can use the canned Pineapple.

Tips:

Cook rice in advance ( at least 2 hours or earlier)

Let the rice cool down completely before using

You may add vegetables of your choice

You may add Tofu and mushrooms

You may use Thai curry powder instead of making a spice mix

I have used a long-grain rice, but you may also use Jasmine rice

If you are using Jasmine rice, prepare the rice a day before using it

If you do not want a spicy rice, replace fresh Thai red chili with red chili flakes

Carve out Pineapple pieces and use the shell to serve the fried rice
