Separate from full meal dishes are those mopping-up recipes that can provide lunch or a quick snack. Fried rice is the classic day-after method of using up the extra rice from the night before. It is always a separate meal in Thailand; it would be rather eccentric to serve it in place of plain boiled rice as the staple for a dinner. I suggest three recipes here but you can make up your own various when youve mastered the technique. In all fried rice dishes, use less rather than more oil. The result should be dry, with the rice grains separate.
