Jasmine rice is a great option for fried rice, and day old or cold rice is perfectly to stir-fly. It'll helps to prevent rice sticking together and avoid the soggy and mushy fried rice.

As I live in Thailand so I often use fresh pineapple because it's easy to find and really cheap as well, but feel free to use canned pineapple for this recipe.
