Kao Pad (Thai-Style Fried Rice) Recipe

Kao Pad (Thai-Style Fried Rice) Recipe - Thai fried rice is a variety of fried rice typical of central Thai cuisine. In Thai, khao means "rice" and phat means "of or relating to being stir-fried". This dish differs from Chinese fried rice in that it is prepared with Thai jasmine rice instead of regular long-grain rice. It normally contains meat (chicken, shrimp, and crab are all common), egg, onions, garlic and sometimes tomatoes. The seasonings, which may include soy sauce, sugar, salt, possibly some chili sauce, and the ubiquitous nam pla (fish sauce), are stir-fried together with the other ingredients. The dish is then plated and served with accompaniments like cucumber slices, tomato slices, lime and sprigs of green onion and coriander. This dish has many regional variants, as it is ubiquitous

Direction – How To Make Kao Pad (Thai-Style Fried Rice)

1. Choose and prepare vegetables. Select a combination with a variety of colors.
2. In a wok, heat the oil and stir fry the ginger and garlic until golden.
3. Remove them with a slotted spoon and save for later.
4. In the same oil, stir-fry the vegetables until just cooked. Add the harder ones (like carrots) first, and the tender ones (like sprouts) last.
5. Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.
6. Add the rice to the wok and heat thoroughly.
7. With your stirring spoon, make a hole in the center of the rice, down to the wok and put in the eggs.
8. Stir until they are pretty well set before you mix them into the rice. The more you cook the eggs before stirring them into the rice, the drier the dish will be.
9. Add the tomatoes, the reserved ginger and garlic and the stir-fried vegetables.
10. Finally, mix in the chili sauce, soy sauce and lime juice.
11. For serving, top each serving with thin slices of scallions. Put thin slices of lime on the side.
