Thai Fried Rice with Chicken
Thai Fried Rice with Chicken (khao pad gai - ข้าวผัดไก่) is a very easy dish to make, and a great way to use up leftover rice.
Directions
- Prepare all your ingredients: chop the tomato into medium-sized pieces, slice the onion into thin strips, finely chop the garlic and chop the scallions. Slice the cucumbers and chicken.
- Heat the oil on high until hot. Add the onion. Stir well and when it’s softened add the garlic. When the garlic is slightly browned add the chicken. Stir well. Keep flipping the chicken until it’s white on all sides.
- Add the rice and stir well.
- Push the rice to the side of the pan and add a bit more oil. Crack an egg on the oil and mix in the pan. Let set. When solid, flip the rice on top and mix well.
- Add the soy sauces, sugar and salt. Turn off heat.
- Add 1/2 of the scallions and white pepper powder and mix well. Turn onto a plate and garnish with the rest of the scallions, cilantro, a piece of lime and the cucumber slices.
- Serve with a small bowl of fish sauce with sliced chilies (prik naam plaa).
Note:
You can substitute any meat you want - beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, crab meat, cooked chicken (boiled or baked), ham, hot dogs, chinese sausages, beef jerky, salted chicken, whatever...be creative
For vegetarians - try veggie meat or fried tofu pieces with the rice, or just leave out all together.
Chinese Broccoli is also good in this dish. Cut into small pieces and add after the meat.

This recipe needs some serious revision. There’s no mention of the amount of oil that you need in the ingredients, and it lists Coriander as a garnish instead of the cilantro that’s mentioned later in the instructions. Plus, the tomatoes are never mentioned in the instruction. When should they be added?
I’ll still be trying to cook this tonight, doing it the way I think it should be done, but this really needs some revision.
JFargo needs to chill out.
