Yellow Curry

For Thai curries, I use my favorite curry paste from MAESRI, in this case the yellow curry paste. The directions are on the can, and in addition I added sugar snap peas, baby green beans, diced potatoes, diced yams.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

INGREDIENTS: (SERVES 2 as a main dish OR 4-5 as a side dish)
1 cup pineapple tidbits (fresh is better, but canned will work too)
4 cups cooked rice, preferably several days old
4 Tbsp oil - peanut, canola, or other high-heat oils work well
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red or green chili (de-seeded if milder rice is desired)
1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashews
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 egg, beaten (omit if vegan)
1/4 cup currants (or raisins)
3 Tbsp. chicken or vegetable stock
3 Tbsp. fish sauce or vegetarian fish sauce (available at Vietnamese stores)
2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. sugar
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1/3 cup fresh coriander
Optional: 8-12 fresh prawns
Start by preparing the rice. Add a little oil to the rice (up to 1 Tbsp.) and work through with your fingers. You want to separate the grains of rice, so that they don't stick together. Set aside.
Stir fry the Shallots, Garlic, and Chilli
Add the Egg.
Add Spice and Sauces
Add the Cashews
Add the Rice
Add the Peas, Currents (or Raisins), and Pineapple.
Continue Stir frying and do a Taste Test
Serve
