Tip: Use Thai jasmine rice for best tasting chili fried rice. You can also use ordinary long grain rice. Cook the rice before hand and cool it at room temperature. During frying the rice, if you see the rice is very dry you can add a bit of stock or water but do not make them too wet. If you are using freshly-cooked rice, lay it out in a large bowl uncovered and place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight - this will dry it out enough to give you good-quality fried rice.
