My husband once had this Thai fried rice that was not only spicy-hot, but had a distinct curry flavor. After visiting a Thai restaurant in Jacksonville and him exclaiming "That's it!" I knew I had to try and replicate it. We like things spicy-hot, so adjust chilies and red curry paste according to your taste buds!!

4 cups of cold steamed jasmine rice
3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and de-veined (chopped if large) (optional)
2 eggs, beaten with
pepper, and
1 teaspoon soy sauce (I use Kikkoman brand)
2 -3 tablespoons of thai-style fish sauce (for the saltiness, I usually go easy and then let people add more themselves)
1/8-1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
3/4-1 cup chopped green onion, including tops
according to your taste chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) or chopped fresh basil (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Be sure rice is completely cool, better cold!
  • Heat oil in wok over medium heat and stir-fry onions and chilies until soft.
  • Add the the red curry paste along with the curry powder to the pan and fry until the oil separates from the mixture.
  • Along with the garlic, add pork or chicken and fry until cooked.
  • Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink.
  • Add rice and toss thoroughly until coated with curry mixture and heated through.
  • If your wok is large enough, push rice to side and pour eggs into center. Cook and stir until eggs just start to set, then mix with rice, tossing on high until eggs are cooked. (Cook eggs in small fry pan until they just start to set if wok is not large enough, then add to rice.).
  • Sprinkle pepper and fish sauce evenly over top and lightly toss, remove from heat.
  • Now lightly toss the chopped green onions into the rice.
  • Have the fresh chopped coriander and basil available for personal preferences, along with fish sauce, soy sauce, and Thai-style chili sauce!

THAI FRIED RICE



Thai Fried Rice image

This Thai fried rice is called American fried rice (Khao Pad American) in Thailand, because it uses ingredients that are considered American, like ketchup and bacon. It is very popular in Thailand and easy to make. All ingredients should be prepped in advance cause once you start frying the rice, it goes fast. If people are really hungry, you can serve a fried egg on top of the fried rice.

MOM'S THAI FRIED RICE



Mom's Thai Fried Rice image

This is as close to my mom's recipe as I can get with actual measurements since she eyeballs the ingredients and never measures. It is a "classic" version, and not the spicy or pineapple version you so often see in Thai restaurants. She is a native of Thailand and owned her own fantastic Thai restaurant for many years. This recipe is one of my favorites because it is so easy. The key is to use leftover, cold, jasmine rice and Thai fish sauce ONLY, no soy sauce or it will be Chinese fried rice. Serve this with Nam Prik Nam Pla Sauce Recipe #92042 to add a little spice and something extra to this dish!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups cooked cold jasmine rice (cold rice is essential so the grains will not stick together when stir frying)
3 tablespoons peanut oil
4 cloves freshly minced garlic
1 1/2 cups lean pork (its easiest to get thin slices if the meat is still partially frozen) or 1 1/2 cups beef, thinly sliced (its easiest to get thin slices if the meat is still partially frozen)
2 eggs
4 green onions, sliced thin
2 teaspoons palm sugar (table sugar is fine if you can't find palm sugar)
3 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (no substitutes)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
3/4 cup frozen peas (not traditional but I like to add them anyway)
1 cucumber, sliced
2 limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium high heat.
  • While pan is warming, toss the cold rice with your hands, making sure to separate the grains from any clumps.
  • Add the garlic to the heated wok, and toss until fragrant and slightly golden.
  • Add chicken, beef, or pork and stir fry for about 1 minute.
  • Push the meat and garlic up the sides making a well in the middle and add eggs.
  • Scramble eggs for 1 minute in middle of pan then, add green onions and peas and incorporate all ingredients together, stir frying for another minute.
  • Add rice, turning over rice with pan ingredients several times to coat and stir frying for 2-3 minutes. You want the rice to begin to have a toasted smell, making sure that all the ingredients are constantly being moved around the pan for even cooking.
  • If your pan seems to have cooled down to the point where the ingredients are no longer sizzling, you may need to turn the heat up slightly.
  • Sprinkle in the sugar and add the fish sauce and oyster sauce.
  • Stir fry all ingredients together for one minute more or until sauces are absorbed and mixture is completely combined. Transfer to serving platter.
  • Garnish plate edge with sliced cucumber, lime wedges, and additional whole green onions if desired.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: This will help prevent the rice from becoming sticky and mushy.
  • Chop your vegetables and protein into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the rice and vegetables.
  • Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on the rice and vegetables.
  • Stir-fry the rice and vegetables in batches: This will help prevent them from becoming overcrowded and mushy.
  • Add the curry paste and cook for a minute or two: This will help release the flavors of the curry paste.
  • Add the coconut milk and broth: This will help create a creamy and flavorful sauce.
  • Simmer the rice and vegetables for a few minutes: This will help the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the rice hot, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges: This will add a fresh and flavorful touch to the dish.

Conclusion:

This Thai-style fried rice is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. The curry paste and coconut milk give the rice a rich and creamy flavor, while the vegetables and protein add texture and nutrition. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
