I’m an American woman, married to a Thai man, living in Thailand. You are saving our marriage! I can’t eat MSG and almost every recipe of yours I can sub in MSG free things and it still tastes aa-roy-mak! 10 thousand thank you’s Ajarn!!!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you so much!!! And I'm so glad to hear my recipes are saving your marriage, that is very high praise 😉

[@balkanwitch5747]

Why can’t you eat MSG? You know the headache thing is a myth right?

[@jadapinkears]

@balkanwitch5747 hypochondria caused headaches 😂

[@ririxixi]

​@@balkanwitch5747Not headache. Rather throat and tongue becomes sore. Rashes all over skin. I know, I'm allergic to msg.

Don’t throw away the core! Cut it up and freeze. Add to smoothies. Perfectly edible with same nutrition including bromelain which fights cancer and inflammation. 🍍🍍🍍

That picture of fried rice in a pineapple looks exactly like the icon for crafted fried rice in Farmville 3! At first I didn't understand how that is fried rice, but now I do!

[@edwinhiatt4201]

Made this tonight but without the pineapple bowl since it was the first time I’d made it & it was just for my wife & me tonight. I just used pre-chopped pineapple from the supermarket but cut it into smaller pieces. No Roma tomatoes so I used sugar bomb cherry tomatoes. Used jumbo cashews that I hand on hand for cashew chicken that I make often using your recipe. Used half a pound of frozen medium peeled deveined shrimp without tails. Did the shrimp in 2 batches. Cooking the jasmine rice in coconut mild put it over the top. Turned out fantastic!!! We both loved it. I’ll do the pineapple bowl some time just to surprise her. This one is definitely another winner.

[@lolliswankette3251]

Made this as well and used what I had on hand - diced kumato tomatoes (seeds removed) and the white parts of my green onions. I used leftover white rice (no coconut milk) and added some leftover tofu. It was really good! Hubby asked me to make it again. 😊

[@edgraziani5019]

My wife and I have made so many recipes of yours! And….. we have your cookbook. Everything we made has come out PERFECT!

[@Dustron5k]

Just made it, sooo good! I had saved just enough dark roasted cashews left over from the Cahew Chicken recipe. Even the bowl turned out good. Thank you Pai - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@PailinsKitchen]

Fantastic!! Killed two birds with one stone with those cashews!

[@alejandromare2061]

Pineapple causes that uncomfortable sensation in your mouth because it contains bromelin, a proteolytic enzyme. It basically breaks down or digests the proteins of your mouth. But it only exists when it's raw. It's thermolabile, which means it deactivates if heated. So, of course, grilled or cooked pineapple will never give you that problem. 😉

[@nashinashi0114]

For just a few exceptions, all enzymes are thermolabile since they're proteins after all. Just saying.

[@israelrobles6144]

so while you eat your pineapple, your pineapple eats you.

[@brip799]

Hm.. that’s good to know. I knew that pineapple contained bromelain because I’ve always heard that it’s great for back pain. I didn’t know however that it only existed in raw pineapple. Maybe best in smoothies then because it irritates my mouth to eat it raw as well.

This is a major comment. Way to go.

[@ja52ng74]

11:07 Idea! Cut the bottom rind off of your pineapple bowl to flatten the bottom so it doesn't wobble as you scoop/ladle out your portion

[@mississippigardener987]

For someone that was raised in Thailand you don’t have accent at all, love your videos ❤️

[@valeriel3661]

For rice grains that doesn't clump together, cook the rice one day ahead and store it in the fridge. This allows the rice to cool down and firm up. If you use freshly cooked rice to fry, the grains are still moist and soft, and it will be mushy and harder to work with. Overnight rice will give you separate grains that works great in all fried rice recipes.

[@tiedtomyships]

I made your pineapple fried rice this past month and it was like I got it from a restaurant! I can’t wait to try this version!

[@jaykongsawat5435]

Try other recipe too. I also followed other recipe. So gooood

[@EricAlainDufresne]

I love the coconut milk suggestion. Looks great. Thanks Pai!

[@Nosceteipsum166]

I absolutely love pineapple fried rice + any type of animal protein. It's so good! The only thing I usually change is instead of fish sauce I use oyster sauce, which is my favorte asian sauce. It's divine. Probably one of my top 10 favorite dishes. Also, in my country at least my family uses a tablespoon of oil to make the rice. It never gets sticky.

[@tavitlertritsumpun7160]

Hi Pai and Adam, This is surely touristy type of the dish. Not only for tourists a lot of good restaurants in Thailand offering this dish usually serve it this way. Very nice camera work Adam. Picture in picture and nice zoom in on the wok.

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

lol - don't think I did great with that first zoom but thanks :) (and yes I liked this one as well :)) Cheers!

[@masudrana-cl3zo]

ok

[@emyf9194]

I had spicy pineapple fried rice in budapest at 11.30 pm and it was the best meal I had on the whole vacation! seriously ppl if you're in budapest visit Asian kitchen. it's the restaurant with food from Thailand, china and Japan and the meals are divine!

[@pirach7305]

Great recipe! Looks similar to the dish I had in Brooklyn. Too bad this menu is not quite popular back in Thailand. Thanks for sharing Kun Pailin.

[@lonecynner3257]

I love that you made a simple and easy recipe for pineapple fried rice. It's hard to find tamarind or tamarind paste where we live and some recipes call for it. I'm gonna try this right away! Thanks Pailin!

Hello lone

[@nesamalarkandiah9348]

Hi Pailin... I must say your pineapple fried rice is the Bestest 😊. I hv cooked it several times ...nd today is just one of those days. Going to cook it for my grandchildren who r down frm Australia . Tq frm Malaysia ❤.

[@masterlowsferatu]

Always one of my go to recipes ever since I saw your original one 😊 Absolutely wonderful

[@nilambaripisat2465]

Made this recipe yesterday. Turned out really well. Went all out made the pineapple bowl too🙄😀! One mind blowing moment for me was when I realized your blogpost has recipe multiplier for multiple servings. I visited blogpost because I did not have shrimp on hand and was going to use chicken thighs and wanted to know how you deal with it so it does not taste bland in the rice as it usually is in restaurants. I love your recipes as you talk about science behind flavors in the recipe. Thank you for this wonderful work and keep more recipes coming!

[@nilambaripisat2465]

Wish youtube had way of sharing pics in the comment and I would be so proud to share the pic of my pineapple fried rice😀

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

[@RoryAherne]

I love shredding the shrimp after cooking. Doesn't do anything for presentation but it distributes perfectly.

[@chrisbishop4174]

I made this today on my Weber Griddle and it was AMAZING! I will be making this often! Thank you!

[@shinjuya]

As a Thai, I had this one only when I was in hotel or resort for holiday. I never had in daily life.

[@user-kp6vy5df4i]

Made this today and my family loved it!!

[@richardnsalvador]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I will try cooking the rice with water and coconut milk. That sounds wonderful. I will definitely try this on a weekend when I have more time to cook. lol! You are the absolute best Chef I go to for these types of recipes. Take care and best wishes to you, Chef Pailin!! 👍👍

As a farang living in Thailand, I always joked that this was tourist fried rice. Great to have my suspicion confirmed!! But I'm definitely going to try making this with coconut milk, that will raise my game for sure. Thanks for another great video 🤩

Awesome. I have made this before, but I will try this again with cashews. Thank you so much. Looks like am incredible dish for all from beginners to experienced chefs.

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you for the revised recipe 👍🏻

[@elkarlos814]

Ohhhh that looks sooo good! Personally, I would put the shrimp on a paper towel and dab the oil off the top and I always rinse the rice a couple times until the water runs clear before making coconut rice as it makes it fluffier and it won't stick together as much. Oh and slice a bacon size piece off each side of the pineapple before splitting and it will sit flat and not tend to roll. I just spend a couple months in The Kingdom and it ruined meeee! hahaha Even took some Thai cooking classes. The food is at another level.

[@StargazingDragon]

I've tried this recipe a couple of times without the video and I just couldn't quite get it right. Seeing it actually done was so helpful 🙏

I live in an area of Orlando, Florida known as “Little Saigon” after one of the restaurants in the neighborhood (Mills-50 District). There are several Asian Grocery Stores, and I’ve always wanted to know how to utilize their ingredients, but have NO clue as to how. Thank You 🥰 for your channel and for making my wish come true!! ✨🌟 I just made your Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp and it’s AMAZING! We are having a neighborhood picnic in a few weeks and I thought it would be fun to take it with topping options like Shrimp, Chicken, Spam (?), and Tofu. ** Question: If I put the prepared Fried Rice in a crockpot (on low) and have the protein “toppings” on the side, will it keep during the picnic? My next adventure will be the Phad Thai! The Thai House Restaurant is very close to my home and I’ve gotten it there many times. Although I love them, I’m hoping your recipe will spoil me 😋🍷
