Luau Prawn & Pineapple Fried Rice Recipe
- In a medium saucepan bring coconut milk, coconut water and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.

- Stir in garlic and ginger, then toss in prawns, ham and pineapple and let cook on high heat, about 2 minutes.
- Scoot everything in pan to one side. Add remaining 1/2 Tbsp of oil and 1/2 tsp sesame oil to the now-empty side of skillet.
- Add eggs, season lightly with salt and scramble and cook until just set.
- Add in rice, spring onions and coriander and drizzle in soy sauce and toss everything.
