COCONUT CURRIED FRIED RICE WITH PINEAPPLE
This curried fried rice is my very own creation. I'm the kind of person who cooks without measuring anything, so the measurements listed here are only estimates. I think that all the fun of cooking comes from substituting, experimenting, and adjusting to your own taste, so please have fun with this recipe! It has lots of great flavors and is sort of a combination of Malaysian, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Steps:
- Combine the rice with 2 cups water and the coconut milk in a saucepan. Bring to a rapid simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a stir- fry pan or a wide skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until golden.
- Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
- Add the tomatoes and pineapple chunks and continue to stir-fry for a minute or two, just until the tomatoes soften slightly.
- Stir in the cooked rice, curry powder, and ginger. Stir gently until all the ingredients are completely combined. Since about half the can of coconut milk is remaining, if you'd like the mixture to be a bit more moist, add 1/4 cup or so more, but take care not to make the mixture soupy.
- Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Serve at once, passing around crushed nuts to top individual servings, if desired.

PINEAPPLE COCONUT JASMINE RICE
Ok....my sweet tooth hit overdrive tonight and I wanted my dinner to reflect that! I didn't want to wait for dessert for the good stuff....so here is a recipe that I found from President's Choice that definitely satisfied my need for sweet....but not overkill! This IS actually a dessert but I needed something to go with my Lemon Chicken and Fresh Snow Peas...so I decided that this would fill the empty spot on my plate. While I was waiting for my chicken to finish cooking, I was sampling this Jasmine Rice delight...and it was mighty hard to wait to put it on the plate! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a medium sized pot.
- Stir in the rice and reduce heat to low.
- Cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until water is absorbed (stirring occasionally),.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Add 1/2 of the coconut milk mixture to the cooked rice.
- Let the rice stand for about 15-20 minutes.
- Then add the diced pineapple and remainder of the coconut milk to the rice.
- Optional: added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top of the rice when serving.
Tips:
- To make the perfect coconut rice, use a high-quality long-grain rice. Jasmine rice is a popular choice, but you can also use basmati rice or even brown rice.
- Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
- Use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water or coconut milk. If you are using brown rice, you may need to add a little more liquid.
- Bring the rice and liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- For added flavor, add a can of coconut milk to the cooking liquid. You can also add other ingredients, such as pineapple, mango, or raisins.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Coconut rice and pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be served as a side dish or a main course. The combination of coconut, pineapple, and rice is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at your table.
