Coconut Seafood Fried Rice

Why people make this dish

This coconut seafood rice is a creative and fragrant dish that makes for a fun and nutritious meal. Coconut water (from mature coconuts, not young green coconuts) is considered neutral in Chinese food tradition, unlike young coconut water which tends to be cool and is not ideal for people with cold constitutions. Regular consumption of coconut is traditionally said to support healthy hair pigmentation, and its good levels of magnesium and potassium make it helpful for those with sensitive digestive systems. Combined with fresh seafood — prawns, squid, and small oysters — and the tropical sweetness of pineapple, this dish is nourishing, colourful, and genuinely easy to make.
