THAI EASY FRIED RICE WITH RED CURRY PASTE

This fried rice recipe is the most popular type of fried rice in Thailand. I liked Thai food very much when compared to all foods because for the taste and the spicyness. I like spicy food so i always prefer Thai food. My hubby stopped eating spicy food so we stopped going to Thai restaurant. I planned to make on my own. I have to make lunch for myself alone so if i feel lazy or bored to cook i will make this recipe. It will not take so much time.

Thai fried rice is a very easy dish to make, and a great way to use up leftover rice to eat spicy and yummy recipe. We can also use fresh cooked rice.
