Treat your ingredients with care...
- Pineapple — Use fresh pineapple chunks for the best flavor. If fresh pineapple is not available, canned pineapple chunks in juice can be used as a substitute.
- Jasmine rice — It is important to use chilled cooked jasmine rice for this recipe to achieve the perfect texture. Leftover rice from the previous day works great.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or red chili flakes while stir-frying the rice.
- Customize the recipe by adding other vegetables like broccoli or baby corn.
- To make it a complete meal, serve the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice in hollowed-out pineapple halves for an impressive presentation.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences by adding more soy sauce or fish sauce if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice is delicious on its own but can be served with a side of cucumber slices or a simple green salad to add freshness to the meal.
Presentation advice
For an eye-catching presentation, serve the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice in a hollowed-out pineapple half. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sprinkle some cashews on top for an added visual appeal.
