Thai Fried Rice Kao Pad Recipes

Steps:

• Choose and prepare vegetables. Select a combination with a variety of colors.
• In a wok, heat the oil and stir fry the ginger and garlic until golden.
• Remove them with a slotted spoon and save for later.
• 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.
• Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.
• Add the rice to the wok and heat thoroughly.
• With your stirring spoon, make a hole in the center of the rice, down to the wok and put in the eggs.
• 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.
• Add the tomatoes, the reserved ginger and garlic and the stir-fried vegetables.
• Finally, mix in the chili sauce, soy sauce and lime juice.
• For serving, top each serving with thin slices of scallions. Put thin slices of lime on the side.

Steps:

• Stir together oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large cast iron skillet or wok over medium heat. Add shrimp, 1/4 cup green onions, and 1 tablespoon garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp are firm and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Without cleaning the skillet, add another 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add remaining 1/4 cup green onions, remaining 1 tablespoon garlic, and mixed vegetables. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Push to the side of the skillet and add another 1 tablespoon oil to the center. Add beaten egg and let sit for 20 seconds; then stir gently until large curds form, about 1 minute. Stir cooked eggs and vegetables together.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in cooked rice and reserved sauce; flatten rice in skillet. Cook, flipping and turning occasionally, until rice is brown and crispy in some spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked shrimp.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp.oil in wok and stir-fry the eggs, scrambling them.
• Remove from wok and set aside.

• Stir-fry for 2-4 minutes, or until pork looks done.
• Add shrimp and crab and continue stir-frying for another 3 minutes; add egg and rice.
• Cook, stirring well, for another 2 minutes; fold in green onion and cilantro just before serving.
