  • Rinse jasmine rice and place in a rice cooker with water. Cook rice according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Cut pineapple in half lengthwise. Cut out flesh, leaving a thin layer on the skin. Chop 1/2 cup of the flesh; place in a bowl. Reserve remaining flesh for another use. Place pineapple 'bowls' on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs; cook until set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cut into small pieces. Use a paddle to fluff the cooked rice.
  • Cook and stir Chinese sausage in a separate, dry skillet until fat renders, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a bowl, reserving fat in the skillet.
  • Stir remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the skillet used to cook the sausage. Heat it until you can feel the heat above the skillet. Stir in carrot for 1 minute. Add onion, peas, and corn; stir-fry until onion softens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 of the rice; stir well to combine. Mix in remaining rice. Add egg pieces and sausage slices. Mix in pineapple cubes evenly.
  • Transfer fried rice to the pineapple bowls. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
