Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

Today's been a slow day since hubby and DD left to work and school. So decided I'll make Thai Pineapple Fried Rice for dinner. Thought I'll share the recipe..

Ingredients

Pineapple 1 cup cut to cubes

Carrots 1/2 cup cut to juliennes

Red Bell Pepper - 1/2 cup- 1 cup

Frozen Peas - 1/2 cup

Garlic 1 tbsp minced

Chilli Soy - 3 tsps

Soy sauce - 1 tsp

Salt - To taste

Cooked Rice(preferrably a day old)

Curry Powder - 2 tsps

Pepper - To taste

Turmeric - 1/4 tsp

Brown Sugar - 2 tsps

Cooking Oil - 2 tsps

Roasted Cashews - 10

For the paste

Mix Soy Sauce, Curry Powder, Turmeric and Brown Sugar.

Method

1. Heat 2 tsps of oil (I used Olive Oil) in a wok and saute Onions and Garlic till it becomes pale. 

2. Saute vegetables in it for a min or 2. Add the Paste and saute for 3-4 mins in med- high heat.

3. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked rice. 

4. Mix well and taste to correct salt, pepper or soy sauce as per taste. 

5. Add 1 tsp water if needed. I did not add any.

6. Add scrambled egg if needed. I did not add any. 

7. Add the Cashews. Give it a mix and switch off.

Add any leftover cooked meat if needed before step 4. If the rice looks to clumpy use little in hands to gently separate the grains before adding it into the wok. Add other colored bell peppers or any thai vegetables if needed. 

This is a very easy recipe and can be done quickly too. Let me know how it works out for you!

Short or Tall?

I usually pick Lily by about 3 from school and she just wishes to play around. I make her do 1 or 2 activities a day and use what we learn to play something. That way she is more enthusiastic in learning.

This is what we are doing today. I try to make a worksheet by myself mostly. Or use store bought worksheets.

We had fun pointing who of us - me, my husband or her - were shorter or taller.
