Baby corn chunks bulk up this easy fried rice and provide a crisp-tender textural contrast to the other ingredients. What sets Thai-style fried rice apart from the kind you’re accustomed to getting from your favorite Chinese restaurant are the main flavor agents. Instead of soy sauce as the main savory seasoning, this style of fried rice uses oyster sauce and fish sauce; if you prefer a vegetarian version, you can swap in vegetarian oyster sauce and soy sauce. If you can find Thai basil, it’s ideal here, where it lends a spicier, more anise-like flavor.
