Thai Fried Rice- Khao Phat – Around the World in 30 Dishes – Thailand

April 24, 2014 by danawyyc 7 Comments

Come along with me as I explore the world through my kitchen. For each region, I’ll be trying about 5 dishes, drawing inspiration from authentic dishes, ingredients or techniques from that region but adapting them for a North American home cook. All the ingredients in this series will be ones I can find in my local (Calgary, Alberta) grocery store and use cooking tools I already have at home.

I’ve always quite liked fried rice, but I’d never heard of Thai fried rice before. It’s not too different from the fried rice that you might get at a chinese food restaurant in many ways. The There are many variations on the dish and it is a perfect dish for using up whatever you have on hand – don’t be afraid to improvise. I really love this dish. I’ve is now my go-to recipe if I have leftover rice. If you would like to try out some Thai flavors but are a little nervous, this dish would be a perfect recipe to start with.

Ingredients and Substitutions:

    • Fish Sauce – is a condiment made from anchovies. That may not sound awesome, but it actually is. You can usually substitute soy sauce with good results. You will probably lose a little of the uniqueness in this particular dish. If you are hesitant because it says ‘fish sauce’, give it a try anyway. It doesn’t seem fishy at all. Worchestershire sauce is also made from anchovies.
