I just love a delicious wok dish. It tastes so good, and it is so healthy.
There is nothing better than getting home from the gym, and then just throw lots of delicious vegetables in your head 😉 ♥
I always add fresh pineapples to my wok dish. It just give it a balance, so that it tastes perfect.
Do not use canned pineapple – It does not taste good, and will not give the same balance. My opinion is, that if you can get fresh vegetables, then use fresh vegetables.
At our home, we all love to eat this – Also my stepson Alexander.
Remember! Always practice your children to eat vegeteables 😉

⇒ TIP:
This dish are really children friendly, eventhough there is 1 whole chili in it. An ordinary supermaket chili os not very hot at all, when it has been cooked – If you want it hot, you need a stronger chili sort.
If you don’t want the dish to be too hot, then I would recommend you to taste very carefully when you add the red curry paste instead 🙂
