🍍 Thai Pineapple Fried Rice Recipe (Authentic & Easy)

Make restaurant-style Thai Pineapple Fried Rice at home! A colorful, sweet-savory dish with jasmine rice, pineapple chunks, vegetables, and a touch of curry — ready in just 25 minutes.

🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes

🔥 Cook Time: 15 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 3–4

📝 Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ½ cup frozen peas and carrots (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder (for color, optional)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • ¼ cup roasted cashews
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice:
    Use cold, day-old jasmine rice for the best texture. Fresh rice tends to get mushy.

  2. Cook the Eggs:
    In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil. Scramble the eggs lightly, then set aside.

  3. Sauté the Aromatics:
    Add remaining oil. Sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. Add the Pineapple & Veggies:
    Stir in pineapple chunks, peas, and carrots. Cook for 2–3 minutes.

  5. Add Rice & Seasonings:
    Toss in the rice, breaking up clumps. Add curry powder, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir well to coat evenly.

  6. Finish Up:
    Add scrambled eggs back, stir through. Top with cashews and sliced green onions.

  7. Serve:
    Serve hot, optionally inside a hollowed pineapple shell for a stunning presentation.

💡 Tips

  • Use day-old rice — it’s drier and fries better.
  • Adjust soy and oyster sauce for saltiness.
  • Add shrimp or chicken for extra protein.
  • For a vegetarian version, skip the fish sauce and use soy sauce only.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with Thai cucumber salad or papaya salad (Som Tam).
  • Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro.
  • For extra protein, top with grilled shrimp or tofu.

❄️ Storage Tips

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or oil for best texture.
  • Avoid freezing — pineapple can release too much water when thawed.

❓ FAQs

Q1. Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?
Yes, but drain it well to avoid excess liquid and sogginess.

Q2. What type of rice is best for this recipe?
Day-old jasmine rice gives the best aroma and texture. Avoid sticky or freshly cooked rice.

Q3. Is Thai pineapple fried rice sweet or savory?
It’s both — the pineapple adds sweetness that balances the salty soy and fish sauce.

Q4. Can I make it vegan?
Absolutely! Skip the eggs and fish sauce, and use soy sauce or coconut aminos instead.

Q5. How do I make it spicy?
Add sliced Thai chili, chili flakes, or a spoon of Sriracha for heat.
