Shrimp Fried Rice

February 26, 2008

Here’s another easy way to enjoy left over rice and a bunch of shrimps chilling in the freezer. I guess I’m lucky that my husband really loves Asian food, particularly rice. He’s quite different from some Dutch people that I know who do not eat rice, that bread and potato are their only staple food. If I was married to a non-rice eater then I think our food budget will be too expensive because as an Asian, I must eat rice at least a few times in a week. Before I got married, I had rice 2x a day but I think I adjusted quite well now by only eating bread mostly. So I eat what husband eats and vice versa, good deal isn’t it?

This is a very simple Thai recipe and I hope you like it if you ever try this.

KHAO PHAD KUNG or Shrimp Fried Rice

Good for 2 persons

• 2 cups cooked rice
• few pieces of shrimps
• finely chopped carrot piece
• slices of plain omelette
• chopped garlic
• 1 tbsp chopped spring onion
• 1 tbsp light soya sauce
• 1 tsp dark soya sauce
• 3 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• black pepper

In a wok, over high heat pour oil . Add shrimps & toss for a minute then quickly add chopped carrot and garlic, continue mixing then add rice and liquids, sugar and black pepper. Taste it and if you wish to add some fish sauce then do so. Toss in the spring onion just before turning off the heat.

To serve simply damped first the inside of a cup so that rice will smoothly glide out, place it on the plate center and decorate around it with slices of omelette.

Enjoy Your meal!!
