Fried Red Thai Jasmine Rice With Shrimp image

Thai-style fried rice is an addiction in our household. If you cannot find Alter Eco's ruby red jasmine, you can make this dish with red Bhutanese rice or with regular jasmine rice. This may seem like a lot of fried rice, but believe me, you'll finish it in one sitting.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield Serves four generously as a one-dish meal

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola or peanut oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and cut in 1-inch long julienne
8 medium or large shrimp about 6 ounces, peeled, deveined and chopped
6 cups cooked ruby red jasmine rice, red Bhutanese or regular jasmine rice (2 cups uncooked)
1 bunch scallions, trimmed, cut in half lengthwise and then into 1-inch lengths
2 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce (omit if sodium is an issue; the high sodium content in this recipe comes from the fish sauce)
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Chopped cilantro
Thinly sliced cucumber
Lime wedges
Scallions
Fish sauce with hot chilies (nam pla prik)
Chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat a large wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the oil, tilt to spread across the pan, and add the carrot and shrimp. Stir-fry until the shrimp is pink and opaque, about two minutes. Add the garlic, and stir-fry just until golden, 15 to 30 seconds. Add the rice. Stir-fry for about two minutes by scooping the rice up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again. The rice should have a seared taste. Add the scallions and fish sauce, stir together for a half-minute to a minute and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle the cilantro over the top, and serve, passing the garnishes of your choice. Diners should squeeze lime juice onto their rice as they eat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality jasmine rice: Good quality rice will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for fragrant jasmine rice from Thailand.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will help the rice to cool and separate, making it easier to fry.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Use high heat: This will help to create a nice wok hei (breath of the wok) and evenly cook the rice.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: This will help to ensure that everything is cooked properly.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste.

Conclusion:

Jasmine shrimp fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple tips, you can make a restaurant-quality jasmine shrimp fried rice at home.
