Impossibly soft and pillowy restaurant-style garlic herb naan bread is SUPER easy to make at home and the best side to any curry or rice dish!

I feel it’s necessary to shout from the rooftops that RESTAURANT-STYLE NAAN BREAD IS HERE!!! In all it’s soft, pillowy, stacked-high goodness.

You are going to want to stack this naan bread approximately rooftop-high, lemme tell you that fact….

Guys, this naan bread is reason for really ridiculous excitement especially for me. I haven’t made a good naan bread since culinary school and I had forgotten how a) freaking EASY it is b) how freaking incredible it is.

Jam-packed with juicy steak cubes and sweet pineapple, this Hawaiian pineapple steak fried rice is the BEST way to use up leftover rice and tastes 100x better than takeout!

If it has Hawaiian in the title……you know we’re about to get down and dirty in PINEAPPLE land.

And in true Sarah fashion, we’d better throw some steak and fried rice in there for good measure. It’s insanity and it is great.

You know what else is insanity? Having your apartment conveniently placed directly above a freaking incredible Chinese restaurant. Suffice to say, I eat a lot of fried rice and bubble tea now and no, I would not wish to share those numbers of how often I do.
