Most of the time, I try to use minimal ingredients to make a quick meal. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/egg-fried-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5-Ingredient Egg Fried Rice<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/vegetable-fried-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vegetable Fried Rice<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/pork-fried-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ground Pork Fried Rice<\/a>. But when I make fried rice for Sunday dinner or a gathering, I like to make a slightly more involved fried rice, like this Thai pineapple fried rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s something irresistibly joyful about a plate of colorful fried rice, especially when it comes packed with sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors. What makes this dish truly special is its beautiful balance &#8211; the salty richness of the oyster sauce and soy sauce paired with the gentle warmth of curry powder and the juicy burst of sweet pineapple. Each bite brings out a bit of everything &#8211; crispy rice, plump shrimp, fragrant lap cheung (Chinese sausage), and tender veggies. It&#8217;s colorful, comforting, and ready in under 30 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways to cook Thai pineapple fried rice. This recipe was based on my favorite version when I was back in China, whenever we\u2019d go out for Thai food. The recipe uses a small amount of Chinese sausage to boost the flavor and curry powder to add a special aroma. In the restaurant, the dish was usually presented in a hollowed-out pineapple. But I used cut pineapple to simplify the prep process for this homestyle version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_5.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients laid out in bowls, including rice, shrimp, eggs, lap cheung, pineapple, peas, onion, carrot, and sauces.\" class=\"wp-image-44801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_5.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_5-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Day-old rice<\/strong>: Overnight rice is ideal as it\u2019s drier and easier to separate. It crisps up much better than fresh rice, creating separate grains instead of clumping together during the stir fry. My favorite type for this dish is jasmine rice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shrimp and Lap Cheung<\/strong>: A classic combo for a bold flavor base and texture. However, you can skip the Lap Cheung if you do not have it on hand.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vegetables<\/strong>: Frozen peas and carrots add texture and color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pineapple<\/strong>: Fresh pineapple adds bright acidity and a golden color. I highly recommend using fresh instead of canned, which is usually too sweet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flavor base:<\/strong> Soy sauce and oyster sauce for a rich umami, and mild Madras curry powder for aroma and color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"contentbox contentbox-beige mainsection notop nobot\">\r\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pro-tip-for-crispy-fluffy-rice\">Pro tip for crispy fluffy rice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluff the rice when you\u2019re measuring the rice, and do NOT pack it down into your measuring cup. You want plenty of air between the grains, so they separate easily during cooking and create a better texture. Packing the rice results in a clumpy texture that won\u2019t sear properly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t\r\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make\">How to make<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have everything prepped before starting the stir fry, since you will need to move fast once the cooking starts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My recipe cooks the eggs and shrimp separately, which ensures the wok remains hot without overcooking the ingredients. It\u2019s a step that takes a little extra time but creates an amazing result.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Scramble the eggs. <\/strong>I like to heat up the wok very hot, then cook the eggs until the surface is golden brown but the inside is still not completely cooked. So I get a nice crispy texture, and the rice will soak up some uncooked egg later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_6.jpg\" alt=\"Eggs cooking in a wok, forming a soft omelet before being scrambled.\" class=\"wp-image-44802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_6-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_6-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Sear the shrimp. <\/strong>By using a very hot wok and taking the shrimp out as soon as it\u2019s cooked, it prevents the shrimp from overcooking and yields a nice tender texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_7.jpg\" alt=\"Shrimp searing in a hot wok until just cooked and pink.\" class=\"wp-image-44803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_7-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_7-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Fry the Chinese sausage until crispy. <\/strong>This step is important because you want the fat to render out of the sausage to season the rice. The sausage will also have a chewy texture without tasting greasy after frying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_8.jpg\" alt=\"Diced lap cheung frying in oil in a wok until slightly crisp and browned.\" class=\"wp-image-44804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_8.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_8-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_8-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.

Toss the rice<\/strong> with the vegetables until heated through and the grains separate, then mix in the sauce. Make sure to toss the rice for long enough, so the grains crisp up.

My recipe also cooks several ingredients separately, which helps the wok to maintain a high temperature so you get some wok hei for a smoky taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you heat up the wok until it just starts to smoke. Use a generous amount of oil at the beginning of cooking, and swirl the wok to coat a large area to prevent sticking. Using day-old rice also reduces the starch from the grains, making the rice stick less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One tip to remember is, once you add an ingredient, give it time to sear before moving it. This helps the wok to regain temperature and sear the ingredients. And only start to toss and stir after the ingredients have seared and the wok is piping hot (you can hear the sizzling and see the smoke coming up).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t\r\n\t\t\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_1.jpg\" alt=\"A wok filled with Thai pineapple fried rice with shrimp, eggs, peas, and diced vegetables, stirred with a black spatula.\" class=\"wp-image-44797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/251028_Thai-Pineapple-Fried-Rice_1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-serve\">How to serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Thai pineapple fried rice is best served hot and fresh from the pan.

Day-old or leftover rice works best because the grains are firmer and drier, which prevents the fried rice from turning mushy. If you don\u2019t have overnight rice, you can use freshly cooked rice by spreading it out on a tray to let it cool off, then store it in the fridge for at least an hour to dry out. Note, the rice will still be more moist, and you should try to fluff the rice as much as possible before making it into fried rice.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"togglelist notop nobot\">\r\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"toggleitem\" id=\"faqitem-can-i-use-canned-pineapple-instead-of-fresh\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-use-canned-pineapple-instead-of-fresh\"><strong>Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?<\/strong><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"togglereveal notop nobot\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely.
