菠萝饭 “Bo Luo Fan"

Introducing Chris' favorite Chinese dish: 菠萝饭 “Bo Luo Fan" ("Bo Luo" being pineapple and "Fan" being rice.) Bo Luo Fan is a Dai minority people specialty and our friends Abi and Min Jia taught us how to make this simple combination of pineapple, glutinous rice, and sugar. The rice is first steamed and combined with the diced pieces of the pineapple, as they put it, 肉“rou" (meat.) Sugar is then added and the whole combination is put back into pineapple shell to be microwaved for 10 minutes. This all makes a warm oozing delicacy of pineapple goodness.
