• 1 tsp Fish sauce
• 6 tbsp Oil

  (approx. amount in total for frying eggs, prawns and rice)

Instructions

• 1 Wash rice and drain water
• 2 Add 200g coconut milk, 1 tsp turmeric powder and 1 tsp salt into the rice. Mix
  well and add water to the indicated level on your rice cooker. Cook the rice
• 3 After rice is cooked, put it onto a baking sheet or on a couple of large plates
  to let it air cool. Rice should be cooled before frying
• 4 Slice pineapple vertically on one side to make the lid and the bowl
• 5 Make a perimeter cut all the way around the lid part. Don’t poke through the
  skin. Separate the flesh with a paring knife. Place the flesh into a clean bowl
  I separated the flesh into 2 bowls. One bowl for the flesh that could be cut
  nicely for the rice and another for broken or mushy pieces that I used to make
  Pina Coladas
• 6 For the bowl part of the pineapple, cut around the perimeter and make 2 vertical
  cuts in the center where the core should be. I did not use the core for the rice
  nor the Pina Coladas
• 7 Use a paring knife to cut out the flesh
• 8 Continue until the pineapple has been hollowed out
• 9 Cut the pieces that you’ve set aside for the rice into chunks and make sure they
  are well-drained. Pineapple pieces should be at room temperature and dry to the
  touch when you add it to the rice
• 10 Store the hollowed pineapple in the fridge until you’re ready to put the rice in
  it
• 11 Prepare onions, carrots, garlic, green onions and prawns Prawns can be cut into
  pieces or left whole
• 12 Once rice has cooled, you can start making the fried rice.
• 13 Beat 2 eggs
• 14 Heat wok to medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp oil. Fry the eggs and break them
  down into small pieces by mashing them with your spatula. Remove from wok and
  set aside if your eggs are not in small pieces, you can further cut them down to
  size
• 15 Add 2 tbsp of oil into the wok and fry the prawns until fully cooked. Remove
  from wok. Should take only 3 minutes for large prawns and 1-2 minutes for
  smaller ones I did not season them because I usually find them salty enough
• 16 If you or any of your guests are slightly allergic to raw pineapples (slight
  itchy feeling in your mouth), you will need to fry the pineapples first in a bit
  of oil. Fry them until slightly browned and remove from the heat You may want to
  use a separate pan or wok for this because the pineapple will leave some juice
  in the wok that will make it prone to burning which will then give your rice
  black specs if you don’t wash it before frying the rice. Also remember to drain
  the pineapple from any fluids before adding it to the rice. If you’d like your
  pineapple sweeter, you can sprinkle some sugar on it before you fry and get
  really good caramelization on it too
• 17 Add another 2 tbsp of oil into the wok and fry carrots, onions and garlic. Fry
  until aromatic and add 1 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp light soy sauce
  and 1 tsp Shaoxing wine. Mix together For some added heat, you may also add some
  chopped chili peppers at this time
• 18 Add the rice to the wok, increase heat to high
• 19 Stir-fry until everything is well mixed and keep stir-frying until the rice is
  toasty (slight browning). This may take up to 5-6 minutes depending on how hot
  your wok is. If your wok is very hot, it may only take 3 minutes
• 20 Add eggs and stir-fry for another minute
• 21 Taste test. Add some fish sauce for a better seafood taste. Adding more soy
  sauce is also okay too. I added approx. 1 tsp of fish sauce to mine. If you want
  to add more curry powder, you can add it directly but for better aroma, I
  suggest to heat the powder in a separate pan and then adding it to the rice.
• 22 Add pineapple, prawns and green onions. Stir-fry until well mixed. Note that
  these ingredients must be dry before adding to the rice so you don’t get mushy
  rice
• 23 Place into pineapple bowl
• 24 Not all of it will fit in the bowl. I used some plastic wrap to cover the bottom
  of the pineapple so that the rice doesn’t touch the outside of the pineapple
• 25 Serve
