  • Add spring onions, toss everything well for another 1-2 mins. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with, cucumber, lime wedges, and coriander.

Notes:

  • Cooked rice – Thai jasmine rice is ideal for making Khao Pad but you can also add your choice of long-grain cooked rice. Use a day-old, cooled rice for the best result. Do not add freshly cooked rice as it can be mushy when you stir fry it. 
  • Prawns – Use peeled and deveined king prawns, tiger prawns, white prawns, shrimps, crab meat, scallops, squids, or a choice of seafood. 
  • Protein choice – You can also add chicken, minced meat, sausage, tofu, or vegan meat, as a prawn substitute. 
  • Fish sauce – Fish sauce has a salty rich umami flavour which is ideal for making Thai stir-fries. Instead of fish sauce, you can add oyster sauce, Thai Healthy Boy seasoning sauce, or vegetarian stir-fry sauce ( mushroom sauce ). 
  • Vegetables – You can add small dice of carrots, sweetcorn, green peas, etc.  
  • Freezing and reheating option – Do not recommend freezing khao pad but you can keep it in the fridge if you have leftovers. Place the leftover fried rice in the air-tight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat it in the microwave or stir fry it in the pan until hot just before serving. 
  • Cooking for a crowd – If you are cooking for a crowd, fry the rice in batches. Do not overcrowd the wok/pan to spread enough heat to all ingredients. This recipe is for 2-3 servings and you can double or triple the ingredients. 
  • Nutritional fact is calculated approximately per serving and it can be varied by the number of different products used.
