Rice 2.0 – Thai Fried Rice (Khao Pad) June 2, 2009

Hey Sam, hope you like this Thai Fried Rice Recipe.

There are few simpe rules to cooking fried rice

• Rice – should be cold/room temperature or from overnight rice because if it is warm, when you stir fry it, it will turn soggy.
• Ingredients – All ingredients shoud be ready by the time you start cooking.
• Heat – you need to cook fried rice on high heat, from start till the end, do not turn the heat up and down.

If you do not like prawn, you can replace it with any meat or if you are vegetarian, you can add tofu/tempeh as well. Normally if I use brocolli or carrot, i blanch them in hot water first.
