JOKO's CHORIZO PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

JOKO's CHORIZO PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

Ok, i made this late at night. Instant MARKET BASKET- hello!? then i realized, I didn't have salt.
good luck. haha

Ok, i didn't measure for this one, sorry--I had to improvise, because when i realized that the salt was missing, the rice was already in the pot. Don't ask me what I did, all i know is that it tasted ok to me. The next day, the whole pot was gone. Bam! my family ate it. hwek hwek hwek.



INGREDIENTS (approximation ok?)

2 pcs chorizo bilbao (the type you buy in the grocery), cut in a slant? (what the f*ck?)
2 cups of rice
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp sweet chilli garlic sauce
2 tsps oyster sauce
1 tsp soysauce
2 tsps honey
1/4 cup pineapples, diced, drained
onions
garlic
1 tbsp oil
2 tbps water
salt + pepper

OPTION: oregano

METHOD

1. Heat oil in pan, using medium heat.
2. Add your onions. Wait a few minutes. Then add your garlic.
3. Add your sliced chorizo immediately. Cook til chorizo is done, approximately by that time your garlic has cooked and has not turned dark and burnt. (yay!)
4. Add your pineapples. Saute for a while.
5. Add your hoisin, honey chilli garlic sauce, soysauce and oyster sauce. Add water enough to bind the stuff together to make a sauce - season with SALT AND PEPPER.
6. AT this point, you can either make this into a topping of some sorts or you can be like me, and toss your rice in, and season some more, add more hoisin/honey/oyster sauce or whatever it is that you need.

OPTION: I also added dried oregano at the end. It tasted more refreshing. Just a little, about 1/4 of a tsp.

TIP: when i realized that i didn't have salt, i added soysauce and hoisin sauce. Too much hoisin. So being that I love hoisin, but not enough that I completely couldn't taste the pineapple anymore, I added 2 more cups of rice. The rice looked very wild rice-y (meaning it had dark and white rice in it) but it tasted more balanced.

The photo was taken before I added the additional white rice. And sorry, crappy photo again.

• Nah! If I found a recipe that needs salt (as most recipes do) I would not cook it if I do not own salt. Salt is the engine of flavor.
