Thai Pineapple Stir Fry

I was really craving some Thai food one night, so I decided to try this dish for the first time.  I thought it was really easy to make and tasted really good!  Yum!!  Lots of good flavors in there!  I used a recipe I found in the Happy Herbivore abroad book that we just got, but modified it a bit.  These dishes could definitely be made together, but since it was my first time making them, I wanted to keep them separate to see how it went.  Also, this was just enough for the three of us, so definitely double up if you’re making for more!
