Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp red curry paste
1/2 lb tofu, diced
4 c cooked long grain rice
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 green onion, chopped
1 Tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped
10 green onions, garnish
1 thin cucumber, thinly sliced, garnish

Steps:

  • 2. Add the soy sauce, green onion and cilantro and transfer to a serving dish and garnish.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and easier to separate, resulting in better-fried rice.
  • Choose the right rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for fried rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: Make sure the rice is cooked through but not mushy.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful sauces, and tender meat or seafood will make your fried rice more delicious.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or pan: Cooking the rice in batches will prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Stir-fry the rice until it is heated through: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Season the rice to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or other seasonings to taste.
  • Garnish the rice with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:
