Thai Fried Rice
A fast, simple, homemade, delicious fried rice. Thai soy sauce is best for this recipe. My husband likes his rice extra spicy so I grind up 4-5 dried hot Thai peppers. Have all the ingredients ready as this dish is cooked very fast on high heat. Use day old white rice (Jasmine rice is best) so it doesn't stick together while cooking.
