Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by dicing the fresh pineapple into bite-sized pieces, and chop your chosen vegetables, such as bell peppers and green onions. If using eggs, whisk them in a bowl and set aside. For tofu, cut it into cubes. Have all your ingredients ready within arm's reach for a smooth cooking process.
- In a large wok, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over high heat until shimmering, which should take about 1 minute.
- If you're using eggs, pour them into the hot wok and scramble until fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Once done, transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
- Add the chopped vegetables to the wok, stirring vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
- Now, add the diced pineapple to the wok, allowing it to caramelize slightly for about 1-2 minutes.
- Next, add your chilled, day-old jasmine rice to the wok. Using a spatula, break apart any rice clumps and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
- Pour in soy sauce or fish sauce along with chili garlic sauce to taste, stirring to combine thoroughly.
- Gently fold back in the scrambled eggs or sautéed tofu, along with cashews, and continue to stir-fry for about 1 minute.
- Finally, remove the wok from heat and top your Thai Pineapple Fried Rice with fresh cilantro.

Notes
Use day-old, chilled jasmine rice for the best results. Always stir-fry on high heat to maintain crisp texture.
