-- Fried Rice - let's decide how we like it and share it with the others.

[Easy 6]

This thread has me wanting to make a version I havent made in quite a while

Used to get it at a discount Thai joint in Springfield, Il... the ingredients are super simple, its really just rice, chicken, pleeenty of hot pepper flake, sweet onion sliced lengthwise, garlic and peeled/thickly sliced cucumber

You could get a wad of this so big you could barely choke it down for 5 and change back in the early 2000s... its very lightly sweetened, so I add about a tablespoon of sugar during the final few stirs at highest possible heat

The light crunchy cucumber is what brings it all together, it cools the pepper flake heat, and adds a satisfying crunch as well as giving all the other flavors a certain something I cant even really explain

Its awesome, and done with a minimum of ingredients... but dont be shy with the cucumber, you'll want some with every bite
