Add Fried Rice to your Thai Feast

You’ve got your Thai Curry Kit simmering away and maybe you’ve put together a lettuce wrap kit or soup kit for a nice side dish but, you want to add a little something extra. This quick, easy and tasty side is a great addition to your next Thai night. The trick to a great fried rice is using precooked rice from the day before, this will make sure that it stays firm and not mushy or sticky. You can use any protein you have handy including tofu (or none at all).
