[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]I normally post in my cooking thread, but seeing as I actually bothered with ingredients and the like... I figured I'd make a thread about it.

[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]Please let me know what you think of this recipe. It turned out really, really delicious. It was very zingy for a stir-fry - because of the pineapple and ginger - and the egg-fried rice had a nice, deep flavour due to the soy and sesame.

I'm gonna cook that Egg-Fried Rice some time soon. Thanks for the recipe Sam.

(I don't always learn cooking recipes, but when I do it's from a H site)

[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]No worries. You can easily replace one of the vegetables for spring onion, if you preferred. I would have used it myself, but I didn't have enough.

lol ! I followed your recipe on the Rice, I loved it ^ o^

Remove the pineapple and we're all good here.

Wow! That's the last thing i thought i would learn from this site, thanks!
