Thailand,but we don't have to go to Thailand to eat.Just cook this easy fried rice at home.
cook the rice first or an overnight leftover rice will do.I used freshly cooked rice because there's no way we have a leftover rice at home.I usually cooked enough portion of rice for the whole family so that it is not wasted.
dried prawns makes a nice fried rice.Sometimes,I do use fresh prawns,cut small the size for frying
pineapple fried rice and bigger prawns for decorating the rice.
