HOW TO MAKE COCONUT FRIED RICE

Cook the rice according to the instructions in the package, about 8-10 minutes.

While rice is cooking, whisk soy sauce, ginger powder, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, heat both oils over medium heat.

Add shrimp and cook, stirring now and then, for about 3-4 minutes or just until turning pink.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and place on a plate or in a bowl using a slotted spoon.

Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet, and cook over medium-low to medium heat, stirring often, until veggies have softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the coconut flakes and then the cubes of mango and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.

Stir in the reserved soy sauce mixture and let heat for about 1 minute.

Then add the rice and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes or until heated through.

Stir in the cooked shrimp and adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the parsley. Serve the coconut fried rice hot.
