Chiang Mai Pineapple Fried Rice

Special Fried Rice

Fried rice is a great dish to make to use up leftovers. So, no quantities are included in the "recipe" below. Eyeball the ingredients based on the amount of rice or other ingredients you have and decide. Here in Chiang Mai, leftovers will often include "Sai Oua" (Chiang Mai Sausage) and pineapple. Someone mentioned adding tomato and bell pepper to pineapple fried rice and "yum" - great suggestion. It's wonderful! One can make a good fried rice with the minimum of leftover white rice, oyster sauce, soy sauce, a meat or tofu and/or eggs, green onions or cooked onions, and oil. If the items being added to the rice are not that flavorful, I add chopped garlic to the oil and let it sit for a few minutes before cooking.
