Ingredients:

1 whole pineapple

2 eggs

1 teaspoons salt, divided

Pinch of ground pepper

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 small shallot, finely sliced

3 cups cooked and chilled jasmine rice

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 1/2  cups cooked and cubed medium shrimp

1/2 cup thawed frozen peas

1-2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce

4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint

Directions:

Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and cut the fruit from the middle, leaving shell halves intact. Cut out the eyes and core. Set the shell halves aside. Dice the fruit. Dry the diced pineapple with paper towels and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and the pinch of pepper.

Heat ½ of the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook eggs, stirring, until set but still moist. Transfer eggs to a plate. Wash and thoroughly dry the wok or skillet.

Heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and shallots and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, shrimp, peas, and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes. Add the reserved eggs, pineapple, Sriracha sauce and fresh coriander leaves, and mint; stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Scoop the fried rice into the pineapple shells and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve immediately.
