Red Vietnamese Fried Rice
Recipe video above. This is the fried rice version of traditional Vietnamese red rice (plain tomato rice steamed in a pot). I added ham, peas and egg to turn it into a quick and easy meal. Frying up the tomato rice with garlic adds extra flavour which is on point!Serves 2 as a meal, or 4 to 5 as a side.
