Description

This quick curry fried rice with chicken and pineapple was inspired by a dish at my favorite Thai restaurant.

Ingredients

3 cups water
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless chicken meat, cubed
1 medium onion, sliced
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Directions

1 Combine water and rice in a saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set rice aside.
2 Whisk fish sauce, pineapple juice, and curry powder together in a small bowl.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook and stir chicken and onion in hot oil until chicken is no longer pink and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
4 Stir in cooked rice, pineapple chunks, and curry mixture; cook and stir until rice is hot, 5 to 10 minutes.
