In honor of Barack Obama's inauguration, I made Pineapple (i.e. Hawaiian) Fried Rice. I was excited because I had leftover rice already made and I'm always looking for good, easy recipes for my wok. We LOVED it. In addition to being tasty, it was also festive full with different colors and textures and flavors. This is my favorite of all of the dishes we've made so far and I will definitely be adding it to the cooking rotation. Anshul subtely told me that I could also make it "non-veg." But he loved it. I liked the tofu, and I really liked the addition of the cashews - gave it the necessary crunch. The only thing I would change is to add more scallions, they kind of disappeared into the rice. I took the suggestion of the authors and made the Sesame Broccoli to go with it. A very nice addition. Super easy and would go well with many things. The sides in this book are great! I loved the Carrots with Raspberry vinegar and I eat the Lemony Green Beans at least once a week. Hoorah for good food and triple hoorah for OBAMA!! (We should have paired it with champagne but didn't have any so instead drank Hansen's Diet Tangerine Orange which was a nice pairing).
