Happy Chinese New Year!

I'm far from traditional but having something Chinese for dinner the night before new year's day is a must! I chose Pineapple Fried Rice cuz we both love it (it's Chinese right?) and tonight I cooked up my own version with ground pork and shrimp. It was spicy, sweet, sour and savory all at the same time and just completely delicious! I think this chef DEFINITELY deserves a Red Envelope, what do you think HONEY? HAPPY NEW YEAR!
