Recipe: Thai Basil Fried Rice

No photo. Sorry.

This is something Miss M whipped up. No trip to the store involved, as have we plenty of fresh Thai basil and cilantro, enough dried chili peppers of all sorts to last a life time, fish sauce on the shelf.

The dish presents itself quite nicely. "Confetti" describes it well. If memory serves, Miss M added some homegrown baby red carrots, sliced fine, in the "add all" part of the recipe.

Easily veganizable: Omit fish sauce.
