Spicy Stir-fried Pineapple

 

 

Spicy Stir-fried Pineapple reminds me of my late mother. She loved it and cooked it often. Like her, I also love this dish which is easy to dish out. I usually use Morris pineapple as it is slightly sour compared to other species.

Ingredients:

• 450 g cut pineapple
• 2-3 tbsp cooking oil
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 chili padi, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp sugar (or more for a sweeter taste)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp corn flour + 3 tbsp water

Method:

• Peel, remove the eyes and core pineapple. Cut the pineapple into bite sizes.

• Add 2-3 tbsp cooking oil to the wok.

• Saute the garlic till fragrant but not brown.

• Add chili padi to the wok. This is to ensure a very spicy dish. If you do not wish for the dish to be too spicy, then add the chili padi when you are frying the pineapple.

• Add the pineapple to the wok and stir-fry it.

• Add water to the wok. Simmer the pineapple till it is soft.

• Add sugar to the wok. Add more if you want a sweeter dish.

• Add salt (can add more or to taste) to the pineapple. Stir-fry till it is dissolves.

• Add corn flour mixture and stir-fry till the pineapple looks glossy.

• It is ready to be served.
