Instructions
In a 3-quart sized saucepan, add rice and water. Bring to a boil and then turn down heat to a simmer and cover with a lid.
Simmer rice for 10 to 12 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed and rice is tender.
Remove rice from the heat and allow to sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork and allow to cool while preparing the pineapple fried rice ingredients.
Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and carve out wedges from both sides of the core.
Carefully cut out the core, to create a hollow bowl. Scrape the inside flesh with a spoon if needed after removing the core.
Cut the removed pineapple flesh into ½-inch pieces, reserving about 1 cup (7 ounces, 200g).
In a small bowl mix together fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and curry powder.
Heat a wok or large saute pan over high heat.
Add the vegetable oil, once hot add the onions, ginger, and garlic, stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add the shrimp and cook until it turns pink in color, about 2 minutes.
Add the bell pepper and peas, cook 1 minute.
Add the rice, constantly stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the fish sauce mixture and stir to combine.
Add the diced pineapple and green onions, stir to combine.
Season rice with black pepper as desired.
Transfer rice into pineapple bowl and garnish with cilantro leaves.
