Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add chilled rice, breaking up clumps with a spoon, and stir-fry without stirring constantly for 3 minutes — let it char slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Add pineapple chunks and cashews, tossing for 1 minute until the pineapple edges caramelize.

  4. Step 4

    Pour fish sauce over the rice and toss vigorously until fragrant and evenly coated, about 30 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and fold in the fresh chili and green onion.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot from the skillet.
