- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove 1/4 of the pineapple lengthways, leaving the green leaves intact to the main portion of the pineapple. Scoop out the pineapple flesh using a spoon, then dice the flesh.
- Blanch the ginger and seafood in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan with 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Saute the garlic until aromatic, 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon curry paste and chicken; cook until done, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat the same frying pan with 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Saute the onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the green pepper, seafood, chicken, 1 tablespoon curry paste, chicken stock granules and salt and mix well. Set aside.
- Heat the same frying pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add 1/3 beaten egg and rice; stir-fry quickly. Add some salt, 1/2 egg and fish sauce, mix well. Add the remaining egg and turmeric paste, mix well.
- Add the seafood and chicken back into the pan, along with the pineapple and basil. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed. Serve in the hollowed out pineapple. Enjoy!
