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.
