Thai Style Fried Rice... With a Curry Flavor, Hmmm!!! image

My husband once had this Thai fried rice that was not only spicy-hot, but had a distinct curry flavor. After visiting a Thai restaurant in Jacksonville and him exclaiming "That's it!" I knew I had to try and replicate it. We like things spicy-hot, so adjust chilies and red curry paste according to your taste buds!!

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups of cold steamed jasmine rice
3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 fresh red chili pepper, seeded and sliced
1 -2 fresh green chile (I use serrano)
1 -2 tablespoon Thai red curry paste (I use Thai Kitchen brand)
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 pork chops or 1 chicken breast, finely diced
3 -4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and de-veined (chopped if large) (optional)
2 eggs, beaten with
pepper, and
1 teaspoon soy sauce (I use Kikkoman brand)
2 -3 tablespoons of thai-style fish sauce (for the saltiness, I usually go easy and then let people add more themselves)
1/8-1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
3/4-1 cup chopped green onion, including tops
according to your taste chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) or chopped fresh basil (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Be sure rice is completely cool, better cold!
  • Heat oil in wok over medium heat and stir-fry onions and chilies until soft.
  • Add the the red curry paste along with the curry powder to the pan and fry until the oil separates from the mixture.
  • Along with the garlic, add pork or chicken and fry until cooked.
  • Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink.
  • Add rice and toss thoroughly until coated with curry mixture and heated through.
  • If your wok is large enough, push rice to side and pour eggs into center. Cook and stir until eggs just start to set, then mix with rice, tossing on high until eggs are cooked. (Cook eggs in small fry pan until they just start to set if wok is not large enough, then add to rice.).
  • Sprinkle pepper and fish sauce evenly over top and lightly toss, remove from heat.
  • Now lightly toss the chopped green onions into the rice.
  • Have the fresh chopped coriander and basil available for personal preferences, along with fish sauce, soy sauce, and Thai-style chili sauce!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some extra vegetables and a fried egg on top.

I thought this fried rice was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe is too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fried rice turned out mushy. Maybe I added too much water?
