• 227 gram cooked shrimp (About 15 shrimp), thawed and drained of liquid
• 4 cups cooked, cold rice
• *1/3 chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons soya sauce, preferably low salt

Directions for Preparation

1. In a large frying pan on medium heat, toast the nuts. Stir constantly until golden brown. Set aside.
2. In the same pan, add 1 teaspoon of oil until sizzling. Add the eggs and quickly stir to make scrambled eggs. Set aside.
3. Heat the remaining oil until sizzling then add the green onion, garlic, shallot and chili flakes. Stir until golden brown.
4. Add the nuts, eggs, shrimp and sauce ingredients into the pan. Mix well. Heat the mixture until bubbling then stir in the rice.
5. Stir well until all the rice is coated. About 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the vegetables and pineapple.
7. Top with cilantro and serve

Day-old, cold cooked rice is better because it is drier. You can skip the shrimp in this recipe and double up on the eggs. We used the same large pan for every step to make cleanup quick and easy.
