This is an easy-to-cook dish that many people do not attempt because they either find it a chore to cut a whole pineapple or do not know how to do so. This is not a problem in my recipe as I use can-tinned pineapple! Now there is no reason not to enjoy this bright and cheery dish! (;

I served this dish with Thai Basil Beef (video recipe coming soon!) and therefore omitted protein ingredients from the fried rice and garnish. However, if you want to serve this as a one-dish meal, you can add sliced chicken or other seafood ingredients like cooked prawns over the fried rice as a garnish.

3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
