Author Notes
Whenever I have leftover cooked rice, I will turn it into a fast, healthy dish that can be on the table in minutes. Fried rice is an economic stir fried dish of diced meats, vegetables, eggs and rice. Baked pineapple fried rice is an alternative to the traditional Chinese style fried rice. It is not only mouthwatering but also very well appealing. —angelcafe
