3
Heat a wok over high heat and add the cooking oil until shimmering.
4
Stir-fry the minced garlic and shrimp paste until fragrant and aromatic.
5
Add the shrimp and stir-fry until just half-cooked.
6
Add the rice, pineapple cubes, and sliced chili, then give a few quick stirs to combine.

Pour in the fish sauce and dark soy sauce and stir well so the rice soaks up the flavor.
