THAI FRIED RICE RECIPE WITH SHRIMP (KHAO PAD GOONG ข้าวผัดกุ้ง)
Thai fried rice with shrimp (khao pad goong ข้าวผัดกุ้ง), is a very typical Thai street food dish, available at all stir fry restaurants. Though you can order the dish with your choice of meat, shrimp is the most popular option. What really makes Thai fried rice unique, is that it's served with a squeeze of lime on top to give it a nice sour tinge, and always accompanied by prik nam pla (พริกน้ำปลา), the Thai condiment of chilies and fish sauce.

Steps:
- If you're using whole fresh shrimp like I did, first pinch off the head, and peel the outer shell of the shrimp, leaving only the tail on (that's Thai style). You can also devein them if you'd like, but for small shrimp, to me it doesn't really matter.
- Peel 2 cloves of garlic, and then just finely mince them
- Slice ¼ of a sweet white onion into medium sized strips
- Finely dice about 3 - 4 green onions
- Take just 1 leaf of Chinese broccoli (kai-lan), slice it in half first along the spine, and then slice it into 1 centimeter sized strips
- Turn on your stove to medium high, heat up your wok (or frying pan), and add about 1 tablespoon of oil
- Once your oil is hot, add the garlic first, and stir fry continuously for about 15 seconds or so, until it gets nice and fragrant
- Next, toss in your shrimp, and fry for about 30 seconds - your shrimp should start to turn pink and feel more firm
- Add in a little less than ½ of your rice first. This is going to soak up all those delicious shrimp juices and oils and keep your rice nice and dry. Stir fry for about 10 more seconds - This is a little known trick to make good rice, so it remains nice and dry
- Scoot all your rice to one side of the pan, and then crack in the egg into the empty side
- Whirl the egg up, let it cook for a few seconds, and then start to mix it up with the rice and shrimp
- Keep stir frying for about 20 seconds until the egg is fully cooked, and then add in the rest of your rice, and give it a quick stir
- Add ½ tablespoon of soy sauce, ½ tablespoon of oyster sauce, just a pinch of sugar (optional), and continue stir frying your rice, making sure all the sauce get mixed in
- Then add your chopped Chinese broccoli and onions, and stir fry for another 30 seconds until the vegetables wilt, but they can still be crisp and not fully cooked
- Lastly, toss in your green onions, stir it a few more seconds, and it's ready
- Immediately dish your fried rice onto a plate
- Slice off a wedge of lime, and serve it on the plate next to the rice
- For the final touch, I like to sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper on top to give some extra flavor
- Add 3 tablespoons of fish sauce to a small bowl
- Slice about 5 Thai chilies (you can add more or less, up to you), and add them to the fish sauce
- Finally, I like it with a little squeeze of about ½ of a lime - but this is optional - and at many Thai restaurants it's only fish sauce and chilies
- That's is, give it a stir, and set it aside

Steps:
- Stir all 'stir fry sauce' ingredients together in a cup until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons oil, then add garlic and chili. Stir-fry 30 seconds to release the fragrance, then add shrimp. Stir-fry until shrimp turn pink and plump (2-3 minutes). If needed, add a little more oil or 1 teaspoons water to keep ingredients moist and sizzling.
- Add carrot and fresh coriander and continue stir-frying 1-2 more minutes.
- Add rice and drizzle the stir-fry sauce over. Use a large flat utensil or spoon, use a scooping motion to fry rice 2-3 minutes, or until sauce is well distributed.
- Push rice aside to clear a space in the middle of your pan. Add 1-2 teaspoons more oil, then crack in the egg. Quickly scramble egg, gradually combining it with surrounding rice.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle over white pepper and stir in the green onion. Taste-test the dish for salt balance. At this point I usually add 2-4 teaspoons more fish sauce, as I like mine on the flavorful/salty side, but this also depends on how much rice you're making. If you happen to find it too salty, squeeze over some lime or lemon juice. Serve immediately and ENJOY!

CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS
This is a more subdued version of fried rice than the spicier Thai fried rice. It's a great dish to make if you have cooked rice on hand and a great vehicle for whatever vegetables may be in your refrigerator. Feel free to add other cooked vegetables, meat or seafood.

Steps:
- Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
- Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.

Toss wok-seared shrimp and vegetables with steamed rice for a dish that features classic Thai flavors: garlic, ginger, lemongrass, scallion, and chile. Aromatic jasmine rice, a long-grain white rice grown throughout Thailand, is a good match for the seasonings.
