Main Ingredients- 1 serving of freshly cooked rice (approx. 200g)
- 1/4 medium onion
- 1 Tbsp frozen peas
- 3 slices of pineapple (canned or fresh)
- 50g canned ham
Seasoning Ingredients- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- 0.7 Tbsp oyster sauce (approx. 2/3 tsp)
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- 0.7 Tbsp oyster sauce (approx. 2/3 tsp)
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, dice the pineapple slices into bite-sized pieces. Cube the canned ham similarly. Finely mince the onion and set aside. Preparing the ingredients beforehand makes cooking faster and easier.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the minced onion and stir-fry until it becomes translucent, releasing its natural sweetness and complementing the garlic aroma.
Step 3
Once the onion is semi-translucent, add the cubed ham to the pan. Stir-fry until the ham is lightly browned. Browning the ham adds a wonderful savory depth to the fried rice.
Step 4
Now, add the frozen peas for color and the diced pineapple. Stir-fry gently for about 1 minute. The pineapple will release some of its juices, infusing the rice with a tropical flavor.
Step 5
Add the warm cooked rice to the pan. Using a spatula, gently break up any clumps of rice and mix it thoroughly with all the ingredients. Ensure every grain of rice is evenly coated with the delicious flavors.
Step 6
To add a rich umami flavor, pour the oyster sauce (0.7 Tbsp) around the edges of the pan. This method helps the oyster sauce caramelize slightly and distribute its savory essence throughout the dish.
Step 7
Taste the fried rice and add a tiny pinch of salt if needed to adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper for extra aroma. For perfectly fluffy fried rice, stir-fry over high heat quickly.
Step 8
The finished fried rice looks appealing with the bright pieces of pineapple scattered throughout. The rice is fluffy, and the burst of sweet-tart pineapple with every bite is simply delightful.
Step 9
Enjoy this special pineapple fried rice for a wonderfully satisfying meal. Its attractive appearance and delicious taste make it a perfect dish for gatherings or any special occasion.
