Instructions 

  • Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and sauté until soft and fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Add the pineapple and cook for an additional minute, then stir in the rice, water and fish sauce.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, lower the heat slightly, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Fluff with a fork, add the scallions and fluff again to combine. Taste for seasoning, adjust as needed, then cover and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the scallions to soften.
