Complete meal in itself and a smart, easy & quick way to fix with some left over rice. It’s my absolute favorite of all fried rice preparations. Make it as the main course or as a beautiful side dish to any meal. Try this and I am sure you will make it again & again. Serve it in a pineapple boat to impress your guests!

- Use a sauté pan that has at least 2 inch rim so that all of the ingredients can be properly stirred without overflowing from the pan.
- Make rice a day before and keep it in a refrigerator and use it next day for best results.
