Ingredients

– Half a diced onion for sweetness and depth
– 150 grams (5 ounces) small prawns or thinly sliced chicken breast for protein, adaptable to preference
– 3 green onions cut into 4 cm (1.5 inch) pieces for freshness and crunch
– 2 lightly beaten eggs for a tasty scramble that mixes into the rice
– 3 cups of cold cooked jasmine rice, preferably refrigerated overnight for preventing stickiness and ensuring even frying
– 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 2 tablespoons fish sauce
– 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
– 1 1/2 tablespoons Thai seasoning sauce
Instructions
1-Getting Thai Fried Rice just right starts with prepping your ingredients for a smooth cooking process. Begin by gathering everything, including that cold jasmine rice to avoid clumping during stir-frying. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat to kick things off.
2-Next, stir fry the 2 finely chopped large garlic cloves and half a diced onion for about 30 seconds until they release their aroma. Add the 150 grams of small prawns or thinly sliced chicken breast along with the white parts of the 3 green onions, cooking for 1 minute to sear the protein. Then, push the ingredients to one side and pour in the 2 lightly beaten eggs, scrambling them quickly for around 20 seconds.
3-Now, add the 3 cups of cold cooked jasmine rice and your chosen sauce option, stirring everything for 2 minutes to coat the rice evenly. Halfway through, mix in the green parts of the onions for a fresh burst. Serve it right away, perhaps with garnishes like fresh coriander, tomato wedges, and cucumber slices for an extra touch. This whole process takes about 6 minutes of cooking time, making it ideal for busy parents or students.
