Salted Black Olive Fried Rice (Khao Phad Nahm Liap)

This is a fast and simple Thai style fried rice. The main ingredients are just minced meat & chinese black olives which renders a savoury and flavourful taste to this fried rice. 

This is the first time I uses the salted black olive 乌橄榄 (left pic) in the fried rice. I always uses olive vegetables (right pic) which is completely different taste from the latter. The olive vegetables is a mixture of mostly mustard, oil, salt and minimal amount of olives inside. It is best to use the whole chinese black olive in this dish as you can really taste the natural flavour of the olives :D
