Set your goals and\nattack them hard! Learn to be comfortable with who you are and what you are. In\npursuing your goals, don\u2019t try to be something you are not.

We try to\nshare the responsibilities as much as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have personally learned some things in the\nprocess to make family life a bit easier: I set work hours, and I try to stick\nto it. I work while everyone is sleeping \u2013 I learned to sacrifice a bit of\nsleep time so that I can be present for them and I take a break when I need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My family does not serve as a distraction to me;\ninstead, they fuel me to do more.

However, if you choose to use fresh pineapple, be sure to use\nthe ripe ones with yellow skin. They are sweet and juicy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have used shrimps for this recipe but you can\nuse chicken or beef or keep it vegetarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For best results use a day old rice. If you don\u2019t\nhave that, you can use freshly cooked rice but be sure to let the rice cool\ndown completely before stir-frying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a non-stick pan that holds heat well and\nlarge enough to hold all ingredients comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used basmati rice, which comes out with more\nwell-separated grains when cooked, and there\u2019s also a noticeable flavor and\ntexture when you use basmati rice. However, since this is a very versatile\nrecipe, any type of rice can also be used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Favour Boluwade Lola is the writer and voice behind www.cheflolaskitchen.com on YouTube.
