1. Set a large nonstick skillet, or wok, over medium-high heat.
2. While pan is heating, prep ingredients. Fit the chopping
blade into the work bowl of the food processor and add
the garlic, ginger and onion. Pulse to finely chop, about 6
to 8 pulses. Remove and reserve. Put the carrots in the
work bowl and finely chop using about 8 quick pulses.
3. Once pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Once hot,
add the garlic, ginger and onion mixture. Sauté until
vegetables are softened, about 30 seconds, being sure to
keep them moving with a heat-proof spatula so they do
not burn. Adjust heat as necessary for the particular pan
and stove. Add the carrots and continue to stir fry, con-
stantly stirring until carrots are slightly softened, about 1 to
2 minutes. Stir in sake and allow to reduce, use a heat-
proof spatula to scrape any flavorful brown bits from the
bottom of the pan into the dish.
4. Add the remaining oil and allow to heat for about a minute
(continue to stir the vegetables once or twice). Once hot,
add the rice and cashews; stir-fry, allowing rice to sit about
1 to 2 minutes between stirs, until rice has crisped and
browned a bit. This should take about 6 to 8 minutes. Add
the turmeric and salt, stirring to fully coat.
5. Push mixture to one side of the pan. Add eggs and let cover half of the pan, and cook,
breaking up with a spatula while cooking. Once eggs have cooked, mix with rice.
6. Add pineapple and stir well. Cook until warmed through.
7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce and scallions. Taste, adding additional
salt if desired.
8. Serve immediately.
