Note

Use day-old cooked brown rice for the best texture; fresh rice can become mushy when stir-fried.

Laos (galangal) adds a unique citrusy-peppery flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute with a small piece of ginger or omit it.

For extra protein, you can add a fried egg on top of each serving.

Adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water to restore moisture.
