Categories     Rice

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces shrimp ((225g, peeled, deveined, rinsed, and pat dry))
1 cup onion ((150g, diced))
1/2 cup carrot ((75g, diced))
4 ounces ham ((or Chinese sausage; 115g, finely diced))
6 cups cooked rice ((about 900g))
2/3 cup peas ((100g))
1 cup pineapple ((diced into 1/2-inch pieces))
1 scallion ((chopped))
2 eggs ((beaten))
1/4 teaspoon salt ((more to taste))
1/2 teaspoon Shaoxing wine ((plus 1 tablespoon, divided))
4 tablespoons vegetable oil ((divided))
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce ((or Thai thin soy sauce))
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • First, prepare the shrimp, onion, carrot, ham/Chinese sausage, rice, peas, pineapple, and scallions. If using fresh pineapple, remember to trim away the pineapple core. If using canned pineapple, rinse away any syrup and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Beat 2 eggs with ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon Shaoxing wine. Heat your wok over medium heat until lightly smoking. Add 1 tablespoon oil, and scramble the eggs for 1 minute-until just cooked. Turn off the heat, break the egg into small pieces, transfer to a dish, and set aside.
  • Heat another 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink, about 1 minute. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  • Heat the last 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Cook the onion until translucent. Add the diced carrots and ham, and cook until the carrots are no longer crunchy. Add the rice and 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine. The steam from the wine will loosen the rice chunks!
  • Stir-fry everything together well, and add in the peas, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, ½ teaspoon ground white pepper, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, the scrambled egg, and the cooked shrimp. Stir-fry everything together for a few minutes.
  • Finally, add the pineapple and scallions. Mix everything again for a minute or two. To crisp and warm the rice through, you can use your wok spatula to spread the rice in a single layer around the surface area of the wok, making use of all the heat and letting any excess liquid evaporate.
  • Salt to taste, and serve immediately!

Essentially, this is American-style Chinese food, and something we are all familiar with. Great comfort food!

Provided by JackieOhNo

Categories     Ham

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups leftover cooked white rice
2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon chinese rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch bite-size cubes
1/4 cup chopped thickly-sliced ham

Steps:

  • Break up the cold cooked rice into smaller clumps.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add oil and swirl to coat bottom. Add shallots and bell pepper; stir-fry until fragrant and edges of shallots begin to crisp, about 1 minute. Move shallots and bell peppers to the side, creating a well in the middle. Toss in rice; break up remaining clumps with a spatula.
  • Stir in oyster sauce, soy sauce and rice wine. Stir-fry until rice starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add pineapple and ham. Give everything a few quick stirs so that the ham and pineapple are heated through. Transfer to a large bowl or plate and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice. This will help the rice stay separate and fluffy when it's fried.
  • Chop the pineapple and vegetables into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the rice plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Cook the rice over high heat. This will help it get nice and crispy.
  • Stir the rice constantly. This will prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add the sauce and pineapple towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent the pineapple from getting overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately. This will ensure that it's hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Pineapple fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice.
