Share This Recipe

If you like your fried rice spicy and rich in flavour, then this recipe is perfect for you. For many people ordinary fried rice can seem a little bland, but in this recipe we are using chilli paste which really adds strength to the flavour.

We have served ours with shrimp, but you could use other meats if you prefer. The dish is really simply to make, and should be ready in under 20 minutes including preparation time, and its a great way to use up leftover rice.
