Categories     Main Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups cooked rice (recommend cold, leftover rice, and jasmine works best)
2 eggs (beaten)
2 green onions (chopped)
2 tsp. fish sauce
2 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp. fresh minced ginger (or use 1/8 tsp. ground ginger)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
4 Tbsp. fresh cilantro (chopped)

Steps:

  • Add your oil to a wok or large frying pan and heat over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add your garlic and fresh ginger (if using ground, wait to add it until you add the rice). Saute for 60 seconds.
  • Add your rice and stir it around to coat it in oil. You may feel like you want to add more oil, but don't. You need the rice to get some good color and texture on it, and too much oil will just make it...well, oily.
  • Fry the rice for 30 seconds and then stir it around to expose the un-fried side to the heat. Cook for another 30 seconds, and stir. Add your soy sauce and fish sauce and stir it in.
  • Move your rice mixture out of the center of the pan, making a little well for your eggs. Pour your beaten eggs into the center and let them cook for a few seconds undisturbed. Now, break up the eggs and stir into your rice, making sure to mix everything together well.
  • Add your green onions and cilantro and stir well. Taste a bite of it with a spoon to make sure everything is seasoned well and heated through. If it needs more flavor, add a bit more soy sauce, or even some red pepper flakes for some heat.
  • Serve garnished with a bit more cilantro for color. Enjoy!

THAI VEGGIE FRIED RICE



Thai Veggie Fried Rice image

Here's a meatless recipe that doesn't suffer from the lack of it. It's nice and spicy for those who like a "kick" to their palates. For extra kick you can add 1 tablespoon of Asian hot chili oil reducing the Canola oil by that much. Chefs Note: Be sure the cooked rice is COLD to the touch or else the dish will come out soggy.

THAI COMBINATION FRIED RICE



Thai Combination Fried Rice image

This dish is loosely based on Thailand's ubiquitous fried rice dish, kao pad. Usually some kind of animal protein accompanies the rice - squid, crabmeat, ham, chicken, whatever the cook has on hand. My version relies instead on tofu and vegetables; the most important ingredients are the rice itself, the garlic and the fish sauce. Have all of your ingredients prepared and close to the stove. Cooking goes very quickly.

Time 10m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
8 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 large carrot, peeled and diced small or cut in julienne
4 ounces tofu, patted dry and cut in 1/2-inch dice
4 eggs, beaten and seasoned with salt and pepper
5 cups cooked rice, preferably Thai jasmine rice available in markets that sell Asian foods
2 to 3 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce (to taste)
2 to 3 teaspoons Thai or Indonesian chile sauce (to taste)
1 tomato, chopped
1 bunch scallions, both white and green parts, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Thinly sliced cucumber
Lime wedges
Scallions
Fish sauce with hot chiles nam pla prik or half the amount of soy sauce

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 and swirl, then add the carrot and tofu. Stir-fry until lightly colored, about two minutes. Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Pour in the beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, then add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up and pressing it into the pan, then scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Add the fish, chile sauces, tomato and chopped scallions, then stir together for about a half-minute. Serve, garnishing each plate with the cilantro and cucumbers and passing lime wedges, scallions and fish sauce with chiles. Diners should squeeze lime juice onto their rice as they eat.
