Entree
Shrimp Fried Rice
One thing I love about Thai restaurants is that pretty much anything you order can be an entree. Want rice? Great – it comes with your choice of meat, and can serve as your main dish. Lo mein? Get it with chicken! We’ve all got busy schedules, so one-pot dishes are where it’s at. My […]
