Spicy Thai Peanut Rice

I am a big fan of Thai cuisine and all the interesting flavors and spices traditional found in Thai dishes. This recipe is full of flavor and it’s certainly a favorite of mine. For this dish I always use Ralston Family Farms Traditional White Rice to get that delicious light and flaky texture.
