Description:
A spicy twist on the classic Chinese fried rice, Thai Fried Rice (Kao Pad) brings together a tantalizing blend of flavors and textures. This dish is perfect for those who love a bit of heat and enjoy the vibrant tastes of Thai cuisine. For an added crunch, consider tossing in some peanuts during cooking!

Recipe Instructions:

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the eggs, scrambling them until just cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.

  2. In the same wok, add the remaining oil and sauté the onions and garlic until tender and aromatic.

  3. Add the diced pork loin to the wok, along with salt, black pepper, fish sauce, and ketchup. Stir-fry for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.

  4. Toss in the shrimp and lump crabmeat, continuing to stir-fry for another 3 minutes until the seafood is cooked and heated through.

  5. Add the scrambled eggs back into the wok, along with the cooked rice. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  6. Just before serving, fold in the chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for a burst of color and added freshness.

Additional Notes:

  • Ensure all ingredients are prepped and ready before starting to stir-fry, as the process is quick-paced.
  • Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of chilies or adding Thai chili sauce according to your preference.
  • Serve hot as a main dish or as part of a larger Thai meal with other complementary dishes.

Enjoy this delicious Thai Fried Rice (Kao Pad) with its complex flavors and satisfying textures, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal that transports you to the bustling streets of Thailand!
