This Thai basil fried rice is a staple of Thai cooking and a great use for leftover rice. Adjust the spices to your tastes. I get Thai basil from a local Asian market. It has a different flavor than regular basil and makes all the difference in this recipe. It is fast and fairly easy to make but requires constant stirring.

  • fish sauce: 2 Tbsp
