Khao pad (Thai fried rice)

Thai fried rice is a simple, quick lunch that's best made from leftover rice. Lighter than the Chinese version: eaten with lime, fresh cucumber and chilli fish sauce (prik nam pla).

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Break up the cold rice by hand, so there are no clumps. Mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar.
2. Heat the oil in a wok over high heat, and fry the garlic in it for half a minute.
3. Add the chicken, and fry for 2-3 minutes, until cooked through. ⏱ Timer: 2 min
4. Add the onion, and toss for 1 minute, then push everything to the side of the wok, and crack the eggs into the middle. Stir a little, and once half-set, add the rice. ⏱ Timer: 1 min
5. Toss over high heat for 3-4 minutes, so each grain of rice heats through and gets coated by the egg. ⏱ Timer: 3 min
6. Pour in the sauce mixture, add the tomato and spring onion, and toss for another minute.
7. Serve with cucumber slices, lime wedges and the chilli fish sauce; everyone drizzles it on to taste.

Tips

• Freshly cooked rice turns sticky; if you have no leftovers, spread the cooked rice on a tray and chill in the fridge for half an hour.
• Prawns, crab or tofu are also good instead of chicken, and you can vary the vegetables based on what's in the fridge.
