Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Shrimp Pineapple Fried Rice.
Step 1
Start by marinating the cubed chicken in a bowl with dark soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, Shaoxing rice wine, and a teaspoon of cornstarch.
Step 2
Mix everything well and let it sit for about 15 minutes to soak up those delicious flavors.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in another bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and a teaspoon of sesame oil.
Step 4
Toss in the remaining cornstarch and give it a good mix before setting it aside for another 15 minutes.
Step 5
Now, let’s get creative with the pineapple! Carefully slice off the top quarter of the pineapple lengthwise, making sure to keep those vibrant green leaves intact for a beautiful presentation.
Step 6
Scoop out the juicy pineapple flesh with a spoon and chop it into small pieces.
Step 7
Set the hollowed-out pineapple shell aside on a baking tray, ready to hold your tasty creation.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) so it’s nice and warm when you’re ready to bake.
Step 9
In a hot wok, heat the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil over high heat.
Step 10
Add in the chopped garlic, carrots, and bell peppers, cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes until they start to soften and release their wonderful aromas.
Step 11
Next, toss in the marinated chicken and cook it until it’s beautifully browned, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 12
Then, add the shrimp and let it cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until it turns pink and succulent.
Step 13
Now it’s time to bring it all together! Stir in the cooked rice and the chopped pineapple, mixing everything thoroughly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 14
Finally, pour in the beaten eggs and stir until they’re fully cooked and blended into the rice mixture.
Step 15
Spoon this vibrant fried rice into the prepared pineapple shell and pop it into the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 16
When it’s ready, serve the pineapple at the table, inviting everyone to dig in and enjoy this delightful dish together!.
