How to Make Sweet And Sour Shrimp Fried Rice

  1. Rinse 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice and toast it in a saucepan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden.
  2. Add 1 ¾ cups of water and ½ teaspoon of salt to the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
  3. While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables: Wash, trim, and peel 1 medium carrot and cut into thin slices. Halve 1 bell pepper (any color), remove seeds and membranes, and cut into ½-inch squares. Trim 2 green onions and thinly slice. Peel 1-inch piece of ginger and finely julienne. Peel and halve 1 cup fresh pineapple, remove core and any brown spots, and chop the flesh.
  4. In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the carrots, bell pepper, and green onions to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  6. Add ½ cup shredded coconut, the julienned ginger, and 1 cup bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry for another minute.
  7. Add the cooked rice, chopped pineapple, and 1 pound (450g) peeled and deveined shrimp to the wok.
  8. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque and heated through.
  9. Season with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or to taste) and stir to combine.
  10. Serve immediately and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
