Method
Dice the chicken, dice the onion, crush the garlic and cut the pineapple flesh into chunks.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok over high heat, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble for 2 minutes until just set, then remove to a plate.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok, add the garlic and onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken and stir-fry for 8 minutes, until no longer pink and it reaches 74°C on a meat thermometer.
Add the cooked rice, curry powder, soy sauce, fish sauce and white pepper and stir-fry for 4 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until evenly coated and heated through.
Fold in the pineapple, cashew nuts, raisins and scrambled egg and toss for 2 minutes.
Scatter over the spring onions and serve immediately.
