The seasonings, which may include soy sauce, sugar, salt, possibly some chili sauce, and the ubiquitous ''nampla'' (fish sauce), are stir-fried together with the other ingredients.

Rice And Gravy
Rice and gravy is a staple of Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine, made by deglazing a pan to make brown gravy, simmered with extra seasonings, and served over steamed or boiled rice. Preparation Rice has been a major agricultural export crop in southwest Louisiana since the late 1800s and has become a staple of local cuisine in dishes such as boudin, gumbo and étouffée.
