Red Curry Fried Rice with Seared Pineapple
From Herbivoracious.- Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 c. fresh pineapple, bite sized chunks
- 1/4 c. vegetable oil
- 1/2 small white onion, diced
- 2-4 Tbsp. red curry paste
- 4 c. cooked and cooled jasmine or basmati rice
- Salt to taste
- Cilantro
- Lime wedges
Heat a large skillet or wok over a very high flame. Without any oil, sear the pineapple for a few minutes, until it gets at least some brown spots and the flavor intensifies. Remove from pan.
Add the oil, and a few seconds later the onion. Cook for 30 seconds. Have the rice ready to go. Add the curry paste, and fry for 10 seconds. Add the rice, and break up the chunks, stirring through the curry paste. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally for a few minutes. It tastes best if some of the rice is allowed to get brown and crispy.
Add back in the pineapple, stir through to reheat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Garnish with cilantro or green onion, serve with lime wedges.
