THAI PINEAPPLE CHICKEN CURRY
This is a quick, easy, and authentic Thai curry dish that's sweet and very spicy. I became addicted to the dish at a local restaurant and then worked to duplicate it at home. I think I've got the taste and presentation pegged. I'm guesstimating on the amounts since I don't measure much when I cook. Feel free to adjust to taste.

Steps:
- Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over high. Add rice and reheat, covered, shaking skillet a few times, 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in cilantro, and cover to keep warm.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh lychees and pineapple. If fresh lychees are unavailable, you can use canned lychees, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead. Just be sure to heat it over high heat before adding the ingredients.
- To make the sauce thicker, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and cook until thickened.
- Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles. You can also add your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or snow peas.
