Vegetarian Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

This vegetarian take on a Thai pineapple fried rice is truly mouthwatering. It uses Chinese soy to keep it vegan and vegetarian-friendly and relies on fresh Thai flavors—sweet pineapple, fresh cilantro, and a blend of pungent alliums—to round out the dish.

3 to 4 cups cooked rice, cold

3 tablespoons oil, divided

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons curry powder

2 shallots, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 red or green chile, thinly sliced; or ¼ to ¾ teaspoon crushed dried chile flakes

¼ to ½ cup vegetable stock, or mock chicken stock

1 large egg

¼ cup grated carrot, optional

½ cup frozen peas

1 to 1 ½ cups pineapple chunks, fresh or canned and drained

¼ cup currants, or raisins

½ cup unsalted roasted whole cashews

Lime juice, to taste

⅓ cup fresh cilantro leaves

3 scallions, finely chopped
