Thai Pineapple Rice (ข้าว สับปะรด)

Thai Pineapple Rice (ข้าว สับปะรด)

I seldom see this dish in Thailand, but it appears a lot in Singapore Thai restaurants. It is probably the easiest fried rice I know of, there’s no egg in it, easy to fry, and tastes wonderful.

Uses very simple ingredients and very quick to do. Just that carving and emptying out the pineapple takes longer than I really like. For this pineapple, it took me 10 minutes or so, which I felt was too long. My knife is very sharp, so I don’t think I can shorten the process.

But the result is so eye pleasing, and it is kind of wasteful to use the pineapple shell only once.

Some people put sausages, chicken pieces, prawns, and everything else in the rice. I like mine plain, with only pork floss. This is because the rice is seldom the only dish I cook, and there are often other meat and vegetable dishes. So I keep it simple. Free free to add anything you like to this delicious fried rice.
