Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Rice

    If using day-old rice, ensure it is cold and separated. If freshly cooked, allow the rice to cool slightly before using.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients

    Dice the onion, tomato, and pineapple (if using). Chop the cilantro and set all the ingredients aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook Beef

    In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same wok, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then add the tomato and sauté for another minute.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked beef to the wok. Add the cooked jasmine rice, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Stir-fry everything together for about 5 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the sauces.

  4. 6

    Add Pineapple and Cashews (if using)

    If you're making Thai Pineapple Fried Rice, add the diced pineapple and cashews at this stage. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes to combine all the flavors.

  5. 7

    Finish with Cilantro

    Remove the wok from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the Thai Fried Rice hot, garnished with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired.
