Thai Aromatic Fried Rice

Thai cuisine has been influenced by the Chinese, but there is a great deal of originality in the Thai tradition. This recipe is distinctly Thai in that it uses aromatic sauces, such as chilli bean sauce, soy sauce etc., unlike Chinese fried rice. The soy sauce will leave a rich savoury taste instead of the more pungent taste of Chinese fried rice. The result is an unusually piquant rice dish. Remember the cooked rice should be cooled thoroughly before being stir-fried.
