Notes

If you want to add more citrus flavor to this recipe, you can add a can of drained pineapple tidbits.
Don't have leftover hot dogs on hand? You can use canned spam. Just slice it, then chop it, and sauté until lightly crisped. Set it aside, and proceed with the recipe as written.
For best results use COLD steamed white rice.
