THAI PINEAPPLE RICE

Who does not love fried rice?

Waking up in the morning in the aroma of roasted garlic is a scent of fried rice in the making. My son mastered (for his age) the fried rice making: simple as garlic rice to a more complex ingredients of Yang Chow. The dish is simple but the preparations, the ingredients as well as the seasonings make it a little complex. A morning without fried rice for him is like a morning without coffee for others-- the day is incomplete!
