Notes
- This is the Thai way of cooking. There is no right or wrong when it comes to each cooking method. You can use any protein of your choice, as long as you make sure that you time your cooking correctly.
- Most of the time, in my household, we love to incorporate vegetables into our meals and dishes. Here are examples of vegetables that are good for fried rice:
- Gailan or Chinese broccoli
- Broccoli
- Carrots, especially to pair with zucchini (as seen in the VDO), corn, and peas.
- Thais love their fried rice dried. We don’t like to eat it mushy. That means it has to be cooked with high heat, and the eggs have to be cooked before putting the rice in.
