Thai Basil Fried Rice is a popular Thai dish. Some people use fresh basil in this recipe, but I prefer to use basil sauce, which adds more flavor. When preparing the dish with onions and various colored chili peppers, I sometimes also include ingredients such as carrots, eggplants, and eggs, which give it a more distinctive taste.When making Thai Basil Fried Rice, you can also add 5 grams of white sugar and 10 grams of vinegar to balance the sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, which helps to reduce the overall spiciness. Some people prefer to use leftover rice from the previous day, as it gives the dish a more distinctive taste.
