Thai-ed Up To Spicy Chicken And Basil Fried Rice

Spicy chicken and basil fried rice garnished with cilantro/coriander.

If I were to liken a dish to a genre of music, I would say that fried rice is like an  improvisational jazz composition rather than a classical one.   Much like jazz music,  fried rice is a dish  about Its flavor profile and textures are built  at the cook's discretion, not necessarily built on previously established recipes. It can be as complex or as simple as he wants it to be.  The fried rice is as varied as the people who cook them.  More importantly, just like an improvisational jazz composition, there is no right or wrong in cooking a fried rice dish.
