Thai Fried Rice With Chicken Recipe
Thai Fried Rice With Chicken Ingredients:
- 4 cups cooked rice, preferably several days old (SERVES 2)
- 1/2 to 1 cup cooked chicken or turkey, OR raw chicken, cut into very small pieces
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 minced green or red chili, OR 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. dried crushed chili
- 2 Tbsp. fish sauce (plus more to taste)
- 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 egg
- 3 spring (green) onions, finely sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh basil OR coriander/cilantro
How to make Thai Fried Rice With Chicken:
- First, prepare cold rice by drizzling over 1 Tbsp. of the oil. Use your fingers to mix the oil in with the rice and separate the rice grains, removing any clumps.
- Place remaining oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chili. Stir-fry until fragrant (30 seconds to 1 minute).
- Add chicken plus 2 Tbsp. stock. Stir-fry enough to thoroughly warm the meat if cooked. If raw, stir fry until meat is well cooked (3-5 minutes). Add remaining stock, as necessary, to prevent the pan from becoming dry and to keep ingredients sizzling.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, push ingredients aside and crack the egg into the middle of the wok/pan. Stir quickly to cook and break up the egg (like making scrambled eggs).
- When egg is cooked, add the rice plus fish sauce. Stir fry, keeping the heat medium-high. Do not add any more stock/liquid at this point, or your rice will become soggy. You want it hot and dry and light-textured.
- Add frozen peas and continue to stir-fry another 2-3 minutes, or until you can hear the rice “popping”. Cooking Tip: If you find the rice is sticking, push the rice aside and add a little more oil to the bottom of the pan – this will make the rice “shine”, like restaurant quality fried rice.
- Do a taste-test for saltiness. If not salty or flavorful enough, add more fish sauce. If too salty for your taste (this will depend on the stock you used), add up to 1 Tbsp. fresh-squeezed lime juice.
- Sprinkle with spring onion and basil or coriander, and serve piping hot from the wok/pan. Thai chili sauce can be served on the side. Enjoy!
