For Chicken Marinade:
- 1 cup chicken cubes (boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 teaspoon tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain (Thai seasoning sauce)
For Main Cooking:
- 1 cup shrimp ( optional but makes a difference if you add)
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (day old works best)
- 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain (Thai seasoning sauce)
- 5 cloves garlic (chopped)
- ½ cup sliced yellow onion
- ½ cup sliced green bell pepper
- ½ cup sliced red bell pepper
- ½ cup sliced tomato
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- ¼ cup cooked dried pork (omit or add more if desired)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon thin soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Thai curry power
- 5 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Maggie seasoning (*optional)
For Garnish:
- ¼ cup chopped spring onion
- 2 sprigs fresh cilantro
- 1 slice lime juice
Instructions:
Prep the Marinade:
- Marinade the chicken in a bowl with the tapioca starch and 1 tablespoon of Golden Mountain sauce. Set aside for just 10-15 minutes.
Scramble the eggs:
- In a hot skillet or wok, scramble both eggs in two tablespoons of hot vegetable oil. Whip the eggs quick to cook, remove and set aside.
Cook the rice:
- In the same wok, add three tablespoons vegetable oil. Heat, then add chopped garlic.
- Add chicken and cook for a few minutes. Add yellow onions, red and green bell peppers, then the pineapple. Add 2 tablespoons thin soy sauce, sugar, Thai pepper powder, salt, and curry powder.
- Let this cook over medium heat for a few minutes, so the pineapple releases juice and flavors all the ingredients.
- Watch for the pineapple to become juicy. Then, you can add 1 tablespoon of Golden Mountain sauce to the top of your bowl of jasmine rice, then add this to the wok. Sprinkle 1 or 2 tablespoon of Maggie seasoning (optional).
- Mix well. Remove from heat. Add tomato, scrambled eggs, mix gently and serve.
- Garnish with spring onions, cilantro and squeeze some lime juice.
