Rekha's Notes
- Leftover rice is best for making any fried rice dish. A day’s old rice is best because they are cold in the fridge and do not stick together.
- Use ripe pineapple because that will give it a perfectly sweet and acidic taste.
- To add protein you can also add tofu.
- To make a healthy version swap basmati rice with brown rice.
- In Authentic Thai fried rice, a combination of oyster sauce or fish sauce with soy sauce is used. Since I wanted to make it vegetarian and vegan I used a combination of soy sauce and chilli sauce.
- If you can’t find curry powder you can substitute it with Maggie seasoning. It is not authentic but tastes great nevertheless!
- I have not added salt because sauces and rice already have salt. You can add some if you like it more salty.
