| Prik Nam Pla (Chilies in Fish Sauce) Add 3 tablespoons of fish sauce to a small bowl Slice about 5 Thai chilies (you can add more or less, up to you), and add them to the fish sauce with the garlic add a little squeeze of about � of a lime - but this is optional - and at many Thai restaurants it�s only fish sauce and chilies set aside till rice is done Fried Rice If you�re using whole fresh shrimp , first pinch off the head, and peel the outer shell of the shrimp and devein, leaving only the tail on (that�s Thai style).Peel 2 cloves of garlic, and then just finely mince them Slice � of a sweet white onion into medium sized strips Finely dice about 3 - 4 green onions Take just 1 leaf of Chinese broccoli (kai-lan), slice it in half first along the spine, and then slice it into 1 centimeter sized strips Turn on your stove to medium high, heat up your wok (or frying pan), and add about 1 tablespoon of oil Once your oil is hot, add the garlic first, and stir fry continuously for about 15 seconds or so, until it gets nice and fragrant Next, toss in your shrimp, and fry for about 30 seconds - your shrimp should start to turn pink and feel more firm Add in a little less than � of your rice first. This is going to soak up all those delicious shrimp juices and oils and keep your rice nice and dry. Stir fry for about 10 more seconds - This is a little known trick to make good rice, so it remains nice and dry Scoot all your rice to one side of the pan, and then crack in the egg into the empty side Whirl the egg up, let it cook for a few seconds, and then start to mix it up with the rice and shrimp Keep stir frying for about 20 seconds until the egg is fully cooked, and then add in the rest of your rice, and give it a quick stir Add � tablespoon of soy sauce, � tablespoon of oyster sauce, just a pinch of sugar (optional), and continue stir frying your rice, making sure all the sauce get mixed in Then add your chopped Chinese broccoli and onions, and stir fry for another 30 seconds until the vegetables wilt, but they can still be crisp and not fully cooked Lastly, toss in your green onions, stir it a few more seconds, and it�s ready Immediately dish your fried rice onto a plate Slice off a wedge of lime, and serve it on the plate next to the rice For the final touch, sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper on top to give some extra flavor. top with Prik Nam Pla or add it to every bite. | |
