Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and saut until fragrant.
Add prawns (or chicken/tofu) and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add mixed vegetables and pineapple chunks. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes until slightly tender.
Push the vegetables and pineapple to one side of the pan and add chilled jasmine rice to the other side. Break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry for a few minutes until heated through.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce (or soy sauce), curry powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well.
Pour the sauce over the rice and mix everything together until well-coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked prawns (or chicken/tofu) back to the pan and toss everything together.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cashews and fresh cilantro leaves.
