03 Method

Step 1

Place chopped chicken in a bowl together with the soy sauce. Stir to combine and set aside to marinate while you finish your other prep work.
Step 2

Combine all stir-fry sauce ingredients together in a cup, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set aside. (Note: If using fresh pineapple, you will have to press some of the fruit to come up with the juice, but the fresh taste will be worth it).
Step 3

Place a wok or a large, deep frying pan over medium to medium-high heat.
Step 4

Drizzle in the oil, then add the onion, garlic, chili, whole cumin, and carrot. Stir-fry 1 minute.
Step 5

Add marinated chicken and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, or until chicken turns white and opaque.
Step 6

Crack in the egg and continue stir-frying, breaking up the egg with your utensil into small pieces to combine with the other ingredients.
Step 7

Add the stir-fry sauce you made earlier. Also add the cooked rice, pineapple, raisins, and peas. Fry together by gently stirring, lifting and turning.
Step 8

Break up any clumps of rice by pressing down against them with the flat side of your utensil. Fry in this way 3 to 5 minutes, or until rice is a uniform golden color.
Step 9

Finally, add the cashews and stir them in.
Step 10

Remove from heat and taste-test, adding more fish sauce for a saltier, more flavorful rice. If you prefer spicier rice, add more fresh or dried chili.
Step 11

Top your fried rice with a handful of chopped fresh cilantro.
