Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Heat a wok over high heat until smoking, add oil, crack in 1 egg, and scramble quickly.
Remove and set aside.
- 2
Add 80g onion and stir-fry for 1 minute until aromatic, then add 180g shrimp and cook until 70% done with the outside turning pink.
- 3
Add 2 cups cold rice and break up any clumps with a spatula.
Stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes until the grains separate.
- 4
Add 1.5 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 0.5 tsp curry powder.
Toss quickly to coat evenly. The curry powder gives the rice a pale yellow hue.

Add 120g pineapple and the reserved scrambled egg, then toss for just 1 more minute.
Do not overcook the pineapple or its acidity will intensify.

Turn off the heat and squeeze in the juice of half a lime to finish.
Serving in a hollowed-out pineapple half makes a striking presentation.
