It is already mid of January and the December holidays are long gone. To reduce all the weight that was gained in the holiday season, I was reading about some form of diet called as apple diet. Determined to follow the apple diet, I went straight to my kitchen and cut apples. And then a bell rang in my head...
Ended up making apple fried rice with the cut apples.
The Asian in me :D I call it apple fried rice diet.
C'mon, it is still healthy than take-outs and fried rice.
Without much ado, let's jump into the recipe.
