VEGETARIAN THAI PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Using your fingers to separate any chunks into grains, mix 1 tablespoon of oil with the rice. Set aside.
• In a cup, stir the soy sauce together with the curry powder. Set aside.
• Drizzle the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots, garlic, and chile, stir-frying until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Once the pan becomes dry, add 1/4 cup of stock to keep all veggies sizzling.

• Mix well until the rice is of an even color. If desired, you can push ingredients aside and add a little more oil to the pan to give your rice that special "shine" you see in restaurant fried rice.
• Remove from heat. Do a taste test, adding more soy sauce if needed. Add lime juice and taste again. If too salty for your taste, add more lime juice .
