PAD THAI-STYLE RICE SALAD



Pad Thai-Style Rice Salad image

My basic technique works like this: Cook the rice as you would pasta, in abundant salted water, tasting as you go; the cooking time will range from around 15 minutes for white rice to as long as 45 minutes for the most stubborn brown varieties (almost all will be done in 30 minutes or so). Drain and rinse; you want to get any remaining surface starch off so the salad isn't too clumpy. When the rice is cool enough to handle, dress it; it will absorb a bit of the dressing. Add herbs and garnishes just before serving.

Categories     main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 to 2 cups white rice, preferably jasmine
Salt
5 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/4 pound shrimp, peeled and chopped
1/4 pound chicken meat, chopped
4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
1 cup bean sprouts, rinsed and trimmed, optional
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla), or more, if necessary
1 tablespoon tamarind paste or ketchup
2 teaspoons sugar, if you use tamarind
1/4 cup lime juice, if you use ketchup
2 chiles, preferably Thai, stemmed, seeded and sliced, optional
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Cook rice in abundant salted water, as you would pasta, until it's just done; about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again, then put in a large salad bowl.
  • Put 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add eggs and scramble quickly for first minute or so with a fork almost flat against the bottom of pan; you're aiming for a thin egg crepe of sorts, one with the smallest curd you can achieve. Cook just until set and remove crepe to a cutting board. Cut into 1/4-inch strips and add to bowl.
  • Raise heat to high, and add remaining oil. When oil is hot, add garlic and shrimp, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp lose their raw gray color; transfer to the bowl with a slotted spoon; add chicken and sauté until just done. Transfer with a slotted spoon; add scallions and half the bean sprouts; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Again transfer with a slotted spoon.
  • To skillet add fish sauce; chiles; tamarind and sugar, or ketchup and lime juice; and a little water (start with 1/4 cup); stir just to combine and deglaze the pan (add a little more water, if necessary), then drizzle warm dressing over salad. Toss, taste, and adjust seasoning, then top with peanuts, cilantro and remaining bean sprouts. Serve with lime wedges on side.

THAI-STYLE SPROUTED RICE AND HERB SALAD



Thai-Style Sprouted Rice and Herb Salad image

This is inspired by a recipe in "Seductions of Rice," by Naomi Duguid and Jeffrey Alford. The traditional dressing is made with four times as much fish sauce, which I've revised here to keep the sodium levels more manageable. I find any amount of fish sauce makes a dish hard to resist.

THAI-STYLE RICE SALAD



Thai-Style Rice Salad image

This recipe occurred semi-accidentally. I was studying various Thai recipes and examining the flavors, and went home to stare at my fridge, and out came this recipe. A wonderful condiment to eat with this dish, and many other asian dishes, is Sambal Oelek, a garlic-chili paste you can find in the asian section of most groceries and asian specialty stores. It's quite spicy, and quite tasty.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups uncooked jasmine rice
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
2 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 Thai chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon minced lemon grass
½ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per pound)
½ red bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ lime, juiced
1 ½ cups diced pineapple
2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Bring the rice, butter, ginger, coconut milk, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork, and refrigerate until cold.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, shallot, minced chile pepper, ginger, and lemon grass; cook for 1 minute until the shallot begins to go limp. Add the shrimp; cook and stir until the shrimp has turned pink, then stir in the red bell pepper slices. Continue cooking until the shrimp is no longer opaque in the center. Season with basil, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice.
  • Stir the shrimp mixture into the chilled rice along with the pineapple and sugar. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

PLA GOONG (SPICY THAI SHRIMP SALAD)



Pla Goong (Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad) image

This dish is somewhere between a shrimp salad and a ceviche - just-cooked shrimp dressed with a sour-savory-sweet mixture of lime, fish sauce, and sweet chile paste, then showered with herbs and chiles. In classic Thai fashion, it's combination of many tastes, each moment on your palate different from the next. It's a favorite of Pornpong Kanittanon, the Consul General of Thailand in New York, and the recipe is adapted from his wife, Jaisamarn.

Provided by Francis Lam

Categories     main course

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt (optional)
3 ounces lime juice (from about 3 limes)
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons nam prik pao (Thai chile paste in oil)
2 finely chopped Thai bird chiles, or to taste
1 pound large shrimp (1 1/2 pounds if heads-on)
2/3 cup very thinly sliced lemongrass (see note)
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/2 cup whole mint leaves
6 makrut lime leaves, finely shredded
Jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of 3 quarts of water to a boil. (I like to salt the water like pasta water; Kanittanon does not add salt.)
  • In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, nam prik pao and chopped chiles. Taste, and adjust with any of the ingredients, including salt. The sauce's flavor should be led by sourness and savoriness, but with a good balance of sweetness and heat.
  • Cook the shrimp in the water until it just turns opaque, medium or medium-rare, about 1 minute. For better flavor, cook the shrimp with heads or shells on; peel when just cooled enough to handle.
  • Add the shrimp to the sauce while still warm and toss; the lime will continue to "cook" the shrimp like a ceviche. Add the lemongrass, shallot, cilantro, mint leaves and makrut lime leaves, reserving a little of each herb for garnish. Toss, and place on a dish; scatter the reserved herbs on top. Serve immediately with hot rice.

FRIED RED THAI JASMINE RICE WITH SHRIMP



Fried Red Thai Jasmine Rice With Shrimp image

Thai-style fried rice is an addiction in our household. If you cannot find Alter Eco's ruby red jasmine, you can make this dish with red Bhutanese rice or with regular jasmine rice. This may seem like a lot of fried rice, but believe me, you'll finish it in one sitting.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield Serves four generously as a one-dish meal

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola or peanut oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and cut in 1-inch long julienne
8 medium or large shrimp about 6 ounces, peeled, deveined and chopped
6 cups cooked ruby red jasmine rice, red Bhutanese or regular jasmine rice (2 cups uncooked)
1 bunch scallions, trimmed, cut in half lengthwise and then into 1-inch lengths
2 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce (omit if sodium is an issue; the high sodium content in this recipe comes from the fish sauce)
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Chopped cilantro
Thinly sliced cucumber
Lime wedges
Scallions
Fish sauce with hot chilies (nam pla prik)
Chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat a large wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the oil, tilt to spread across the pan, and add the carrot and shrimp. Stir-fry until the shrimp is pink and opaque, about two minutes. Add the garlic, and stir-fry just until golden, 15 to 30 seconds. Add the rice. Stir-fry for about two minutes by scooping the rice up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again. The rice should have a seared taste. Add the scallions and fish sauce, stir together for a half-minute to a minute and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle the cilantro over the top, and serve, passing the garnishes of your choice. Diners should squeeze lime juice onto their rice as they eat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality jasmine rice: Longer grain jasmine rice is best for this salad, as it has a delicate flavor and aroma that complements the other ingredients well.
  • Cook the rice properly: Be sure to follow the package directions for cooking the jasmine rice. It is important to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch.
  • Use fresh herbs: Thai basil, cilantro, and mint are essential for this salad. Be sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp should be cooked quickly and lightly, or they will become tough. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality fish sauce: Fish sauce is a key ingredient in this salad. Be sure to use a good quality fish sauce that is not too salty.

Conclusion:

Warm jasmine rice salad with shrimp and Thai herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. With its combination of sweet, savory, and sour flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this warm jasmine rice salad a try!
