SPICY SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE
Steps:
- For the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the soy sauce, Ginger-Garlic Paste, sambal and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- For the egg crepes: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon water. Set a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and coat it lightly with peanut oil. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl the pan so the egg coats the bottom. Cook over low heat until firm, then carefully turn with a spatula and finish cooking on the other side, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer the egg crepe to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining egg mixture. When the crepes are cool enough to handle, stack, roll and slice them into thin julienne strips. Set aside until ready to use.
- For the fried rice: Set a large wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Add the marinated shrimp and stir fry until slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the onions, celery and Ginger-Garlic Paste and stir fry until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the rice and stir fry until hot and a little crispy, about 2 minutes, breaking up the rice with a wooden spoon as you go. Fold in the peas, edamame, pineapple and bean sprouts and continue to stir fry until the vegetables heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the soy sauce and sambal. Fold in the cooked shrimp and the sliced egg crepe. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions.
- Pulse the garlic and ginger in a food processor. With the processor running, stream in the canola oil and process to a paste. (You'll need 3 tablespoons of the paste for the above recipe. Refrigerate remaining paste for up to a week.)

ASIAN-STYLE SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE
Steps:
- Halve the pineapple lengthwise, cut out the flesh, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells, and reserve the shells. Discard the core and cut enough of the pineapple into 1/2-inch pieces to measure 1 1/2 cups, reserving the remaining pineapple for another use. In a bowl combine the pineapple pieces, the bell pepper, the scallions, and the jalapeño pepper. In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, the sugar, the anchovy paste, the turmeric, and 1 tablespoon water.
- In a wok or heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it stir-fry the shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes, or until they are just firm, and transfer them to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in the oil stir-fry the garlic for 5 seconds, or until it is golden. Add the rice and stir-fry the mixture for 30 seconds, or until the rice is hot. Add the soy mixture and stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute. Add the pineapple mixture and the shrimp, stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute, or until it is hot, and stir in the coriander. Serve the fried rice in the reserved pineapple shells if desired.

Tips:
- Cook rice a day ahead. Day-old rice is less sticky and clumps less, making it the perfect base for fried rice.
- Chop vegetables and protein in small, uniform pieces. This will ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the rice and other ingredients from sticking.
- Cook the rice and other ingredients over high heat. This will help create those all-important crispy bits and smoky flavor.
- Add the cooked rice and other ingredients back to the wok or skillet in batches. This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Season to taste with soy sauce, fish sauce, and white pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or ginger powder, to your taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with green onions, cilantro, or a lime wedge.
