Ingredients

  • ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon soft brown sugar

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch, divided

  • 10 uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided

  • 1 fresh pineapple

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped

  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 3 cups cooked rice

  • 3 eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Combine chicken, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, Shaoxing rice wine, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a bowl. Mix and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. Place shrimp in a separate bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and set aside for 15 minutes.

  3. Remove 1/4 of the pineapple lengthways, leaving the green leaves intact for presentation, if you like; scoop out the pineapple flesh using a spoon. Chop pineapple flesh into small pieces and set aside. Place hollow pineapple on a baking tray.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

  5. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a wok over high heat. Add garlic, carrots, and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add prawns and cook for 1 to 2 minutes; add cooked rice and pineapple, mixing well to combine. Stir in beaten egg until cooked through.

  6. Spoon fried rice into prepared pineapple shell; bake in the preheated oven until piping hot, about 10 minutes. Bring pineapple to the table and let everyone help themselves!
