Thai 'Fried' Rice

The best ever!

I had a huge craving for some thai fried rice, and of course, being Summerland, um, no. I threw this together after tasting some recently purchased pineapple. Best.rice.ever. No, I'm serious. Didn't even really need the prawns, though it added some protein (and colour), and I had them on hand. Tofu would be nice. Oh, the leftovers were just as good, if not more so. I want some now!

Stir fry the following in some oil:
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, finely chopped (seeds and all!)

Add your sauce:
3 Tbsp. chicken stock
3 Tbsp. fish sauce
2-3 tsp. curry powder
1-2 tsp. agave

Add approx 4 cups cooked rice (J’s blend!) (remember to let it cool completely in the fridge)

Stir like mad, then add:
A generous amount of fresh chopped pineapple
A handful of unsalted peanuts
Approx 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
Approx 1/4 cup raisins
Green onions, finely sliced
A bunch of chopped cilantro
Prawns

DEVOUR!

  1. This looks delish. I know legit thai fried rice in Summerland would be asking too much, but I've been SO loving the sushi at the Just Delicious Cafe. Nicest couple running the place too.
