Kate will be pleased at yet another cross-cultural triumph - A Greek cook posts an Asian recipe prepared in Iceland by a transplanted American! I used all my creative power to make this happen, Ev. W/no steam equipment as “required” for the challenge, I rigged my own for the steamed rice portion of your recipe by propping a sieve w/the raw rice over a saucepan of boiling water. I used the lid to cover the contraption & soon had my steamed rice. The rest of the prep was a snap! I left out the jalepeno, added only mushrooms & the fried rice was great! Thx for posting. (btw chefs, I used canned pineapple, but pls don’t tell Ev. Okay?)

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
