Thai fried rice. Khao pad - Thai fried rice with vegetables Thai fried rice with egg

Fried rice is mine favorite dish in Thailand. I can order it for several days in a row and it does not bother me. Thai rice can be either shrimp or chicken, or a vegetarian option without any meat. Since many people come to Thailand for seafood, we also chose cooking with shrimp.

Let's start with the basics.
Ingredients:
1. Boiled rice (cooked in advance) - 1 cup
2. Shrimps (or other meat) - 200 grams
3. Egg - 1 piece
4. Tomato - half a piece
5. Onion - half an onion
6. Carrots - half a piece
7. Young corn - 1 piece
8. Chinese cabbage
9. Garlic - 1 head
10. Sunflower oil- 3 tbsp (generally used in Thailand soybean oil, they usually fry on it, but in the absence of it in Russia, it is quite possible to use sunflower)
11. Soy sauce - 2 tbsp
12. Fish sauce - 1 tbsp
13. Sugar - 1 tsp

This is how we prepare all our products.


Separately egg, shrimp and rice.
Tomatoes and onions are cut into 4 parts in equal parts of a square shape.
We press the garlic with the side of the knife and crush, then finely chop it. Keep it separate from other vegetables.
Carrot cut into cubes. Corn slices.
Chinese cabbage as usual cut green onion and other greens.

Now a few words about sauces. Fish sauce and sugar are added to absolutely all dishes, be it soup or a second course or dessert. Soy sauce is always added to the second. Well, they're fried in oil.


From left to right: fish sauce, soy sauce, soybean oil (we have an analogue of sunflower).

Now, let's get down to cooking. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. The main thing in Thai cuisine is speed, otherwise everything will burn and ruin the whole result at once. That is why the cooked chopped ingredients are all laid out right next to each other. Moreover, if something should be thrown into the pan separately from the other, then they must also be prepared on a plate separately. All this will need to be quickly grabbed and thrown into boiling oil. Thai dishes are cooked on a big fire. Therefore, be careful not to burn anything, it happens instantly, stir constantly, and if necessary, add a little water, which should also be in a small jug at hand.

I also recommend reading my appetizing review Top 10 Thai dishes you must try with juicy photos and step by step authentic recipes I learned from Thai cooking school.

Cooking Thai Fried Rice:
1. Heat the pan, pour oil on it.
2. After the oil has warmed up a little, immediately pour the garlic into it. Don't wait for the oil to get too hot, the garlic will immediately burn into black embers. And it should remain only golden.
3. As soon as the smell of garlic has gone, and this happens somewhere in 30-40 seconds, so throw the shrimp into the pan. At the same time, with a spatula, constantly mix everything well.
4. Continue stirring actively for another minute, add the egg. Stir well to break up the egg into small pieces.
5. We just saw that the egg is ready, and this happens in 1-1.5 minutes, so you immediately throw vegetables - corn, onions, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage. Continue stirring vigorously so that nothing burns.
6. Immediately add soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Mix everything thoroughly.
7. Do not let the vegetables burn, add rice. Press all the lumps with a spatula, not a single lump should remain, the rice should be well mixed with vegetables.

As a result, after about 7-10 minutes, we have ready-made rice.

We put it in a bowl, then abruptly turn it over onto a plate and such a slide remains.


Proper Thai rice is always served in such a slide, on a plate, as a rule, you will also see sliced fresh cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers.

So, boil rice in any convenient way. Heat up vegetable oil in a frying pan. For cooking Asian dishes, it is better to use a wok and a gas stove.

Crush the garlic with the edge of a knife and fry together with the onion cut into half rings for 1 minute, add the chili (optional) and pieces of vegetables. raw eggs Pour into a mug and stir lightly with a fork.
