Cook rice according to instructions given on the package. Let it cool.
In a small mixing bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, and vinegar. Mix well and keep it aside.
In a molcajete, mash Thai red chili, garlic cloves, and ginger (or finely chop them or use a mini food processor).
Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok on medium to high heat. Add mashed chili, garlic, ginger, and cook for a min or so.
Then add onion and cook until translucent.
Add diced carrot, pepper, green peas, and mushroom and cook them for 2-3 min.
Then add prepared sauce blend and mix well.
Now add cooked rice and combine well with veggies and sauce. Add salt if necessary.
Finally, add chopped fresh Thai basil leaves and serve warm.

Cook rice well in advance and let it cool down completely before adding them to the veggies. Leftover rice will also work great in such recipes. Gently fluff the rice using a fork to separate the grains before adding them into the pan or wok.
You can taste test at the end and add more oyster sauce or soy sauce according to your preference. I always tend to add less soy sauce in my recipes to keep the sodium content down.
Be generous in adding Thai basil leaves that make this rice distinct and flavorful.
