I saw recently when I was at Krogers have two different sizes of Wok’s I never seen a store that has two different sizes of Wok’s before because Walmart doesn’t carry it I’ve only seen it at Krogers. 🙂

Nice video. Looks delicious. It's just nothing Thai about it. In fact we don't have this dish in Thailand at all. Maybe something similar can be found in Thai KFC. 😊 Not sure.

IMHO ... based on tonight's results:

My "chili sauce" contained vinegar and this ruined it. If there's a "next time", I'll substitute an oil-based "chili paste".

Definitely consider adding fresh Thai basil and top the dish off with green onions.

You should've made that rice the day before, pulled it out of the fridge and made thai fried rice with it. You could've seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, salt, possibly some chili sauce, and of course FISH SAUCE and stir-fried it all with egg, onions, garlic and maybe a little basil. That's # 1.
And I know you said you're not into decorating or whatever, but dude. If you're not going to shape your rice with at least a
Aaaaaight. # 2. No salad?
#3 chili sauce is cool, but how bout some chilis?
It does look delicious though. There's no way I'm not eating what you made, bro.😊
