Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3.5 ounces chicken thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup carrot diced
- 1/3 cup onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon yellow curry powder
- 2.5 cups rice day-old, jasmine rice
- 7 ounces pineapple slice in small chunks

Instructions
- Preheat oil in your wok over medium. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant. Then, add chicken and stir-fry until it’s about 80 percent cooked through.
- Add diced carrots and onions to your pan. Stir-fry and combine them with the chicken until carrots and onion have softened slightly, about a minute.
- Push everything to one side of the wok and crack the eggs into the empty area.
- Beat the eggs together with the rest of the ingredients in the wok.
- Add light soy sauce, white sugar, salt, and yellow curry powder and thoroughly mix.
- Add white rice and mix, breaking apart all clumps, to ensure every rice grain is coated with curry.
- First, quickly mix in the chunks of pineapple. Then, add the cashews to the wok and briefly toss the ingredients together to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
