Coconut and Pineapple fried rice with Shrimp.
This rice dish is one of my fave rice dish. The sweetness from the pineapple combined with the coconut milk makes the best rice dish.

Instructions
- Rinse the rice and sieve out all the water from it.
- Transfer to a pot and place on low to medium (1-2) heat and add salt and stir.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir and cover (Remember to keep about 1/2 to 1 cup aside).
- Let it steam on low heat until all the liquid dry up.
- Then add the water, stir, cover and allow it steam. Once the water is dried, check the rice for softness, It shouldn’t be too soft, it should still have some resistance to it because we will be completing the cooking when we fry it. (If it isn’t soft add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water and allow to steam).
- Place a wok or a deep frying pan or sauce pan, whatever you have on medium heat.
- Then add the coconut oil and allow to heat.
- Then add one half of the spring onions and stir.
- Add the pineapples, stir intermittently until it begins to turn golden brown.
- Then add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir for about a minute.
- Then add the steamed rice and stir thoroughly is it is properly combined.
- Add in the cooked shrimp and stir. Allow to cook for about 3-5 mins
- Then add the coconut milk we kept aside and stir.
- Drizzle the garlic and chilli oil or whatever oil you are using at this stage.
- (OPTIONAL: If not using chilli oil and you want a little bit of spiciness add about 1/2 to 2 tsp of cayenne pepper and stir).
- Add the remaining spring onions and stir.
- Add salt and seasoning cube, stir and taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
