Best Thai Rice With Bean Sprouts Recipes

THAI PORK FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large wok over high heat until small wisps of smoke rise from the wok. Pour peanut oil into the wok and quickly stir garlic into the hot oil, followed by pork. Cook and stir until pork is browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes.
• Stir rice into pork mixture; add soy sauce and fish sauce. Cook and stir mixture for about 30 seconds. Mix mung bean sprouts, onion, grape tomatoes, dried chiles, and cilantro into rice. Cook and stir until mung bean sprouts are slightly wilted and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Push the fried rice up the sides of the wok, leaving a bare spot in the center. Pour beaten egg into the bare spot and scramble egg until firm and no longer runny, about 1 minute. Stir fried rice with scrambled egg, sprinkle with green onion and white pepper, and remove from heat. Squeeze lime juice over the top and toss rice lightly to combine. Remove dried chiles before serving.

SAVORY THAI NOODLES WITH SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a blender or bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until smooth. It should be thick but pourable like barbecue sauce; add water as needed to thin it out.
• Cook noodles for stir-frying according to the package directions; they should be slightly underdone. After draining, rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking. Toss noodles in 1 teaspoon coconut oil to prevent sticking.
• Cut scallions: Thinly slice the white parts, and cut the pale and dark green parts into 1-inch lengths.
• Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high. Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil and sprinkle in salt. Add brussels sprouts and sear, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan over high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add scallions and cook, stirring often, just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, stir, then pour in about half the sauce and stir until bubbling.
• Add noodles and cook, tossing in the sauce until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining sauce, cooked brussels sprouts, cilantro and bean sprouts, if using; toss to coat and heat through.
• Divide among plates. Garnish with peanuts, chile and lime wedges (if using) and serve immediately.

THAI RICE WITH BEAN SPROUTS

Steps:

• Soak the Thai fragrant rice for 20 minutes, then rinse in several changes of water.
• Drain, then boil in salted water for 10-20 minutes until tender.
• Drain and set aside.
• Whisk together the lime juice, sesame oil, chilli, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, pineapple juice and wine vinegar in a large bowl.
• Stir in the rice.
• Add the spring onions, pineapple rings, sprouted lentils or bean sprouts, red pepper, celery, cashew nuts and the toasted sesame seeds and mix well.
• If the rice grains stick together on cooling, simply stir them with a metal spoon. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature and is a good accompaniment to grilled or barbecued meats and fish.
