To make this dish extra crispy, sauté the ingredients separately and use cold, cooked rice. As you're stir-frying, allow the rice to interact with the heat at the bottom of the pan—this will give it a nice, toasted texture.

Cooks' Note

Divide fried rice among plates and top with do chua (drained), cilantro, and sliced jalapeño.
