Thai Pineapple Rice Recipe
To serve this dish in a cutout “pineapple bowl”, half a pineapple lengthwise and hollow out the flesh without cutting through the skin. Set aside the flesh of half pineapple to cook this dish. More cooking tips at the end of the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 30 grams butter
- 3 shallots peeled and minced
- 3 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 1 heaped tsp shrimp paste
- 100 grams boneless chicken breast cut to bite-sized pieces; marinate with 1/2 tsp sesame oil and 1/4 tsp light soy sauce
- 6 prawns peeled diced
- 350 grams cooked long grain rice refrigerated overnight
- 100 grams diced pineapple flesh may use fresh or canned pineapples
- 2 tbsp roasted cashew nuts
- 2 tbsp dried raisins
- pork or chicken floss
- coriander for garnishing
Sauce (A)
(Mix well in a small, stain-proof bowl)
- 1 tsp tumeric powder
- 1 tbsp pineapple juice
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp ikan bilis or chicken seasoning powder
Directions:
- Heat oil and butter in wok, stir fry shallot and garlic for about 30 seconds or until the shallots start to soften.
- Add shrimp paste, stir fry for about 1 minute until you smell the pungent aroma.
- Add chicken and stir fry until they just turn opaque. Add prawns, stir fry until semi-cooked.
- Add rice and pour the sauce (A) over. Stir fry until the rice grains are dry and evenly-coated in the sauce.
- Add pineapple, cashew nuts, raisins and stir fry for another minute or two. Ladle pineapple rice to serving bowl and garnish with meat floss and coriander.
Noob Cook Tips:
- For best results when cooking fried rice, use cooked rice that has been refrigerated overnight. If you do not like the idea of overnight rice , you can also use freshly cooked rice which has been refrigerated for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Refrigerating the rice keeps the grains dry so that they won’t stick to each other during stir frying. Alternatively, ‘tabao’ (takeaway) extra rice the day before, for making fried rice the next day.
- Tumeric is permanently staining on clothes, certain materials (such as plastic bowls) and surfaces. Use non-staining crockery and cookware. I use an old wok and spatula specifically for cooking anything with tumeric in it.

I love pineapple fried rice too. This look absolutely delightful and got me craving for some. I think yours looks even better than those that I ordered from the restaurant! ;)
You made it look so festive like something that would be ordered on a tropical island! Sounds absolutely delicious as well and a nice change from normal fried rice. Great recipe!

hihi!
i wanna try cooking for my friends tomorrow. but i wanna know 250 grams of rice is equal to how many cup of uncook rice?
Hi, may I know if we need to use fresh pineapple juice for the sauce? Not sure if there’s a bottled kind to be bought at supermarkets that we can use?
fresh one will be better, but if you don’t have just replace with water.
Ok, got it! thanks for responding!
