GINGER FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add green onions, shredded carrots, eggs, ginger paste, minced garlic, and salt. Stir gently until eggs are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Pour remaining 1/4 cup into the same skillet and add rice. Fry for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, Sriracha sauce, and sesame oil; stir to combine. Add egg mixture back into the skillet and stir gently to combine. Cook for 2 minutes more.

THAI GINGER "FRIED RICE"

Steps:

• Chop up the head of cauliflower into florets, then add to the food processor with the chopping blade. Process until cauliflower is broken up into rice-sized pieces. Only fill the food processor ½ full, and process in batches.
• Prepare the vegetables and pineapple by chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
• In a large frying pan, lightly scramble the eggs, cooking them about half way. Set them aside in a dish.
• Mince or finely slice the garlic and ginger. Add ½ tablespoon of sesame oil to the frying pan, and saute over medium low heat for 5-10 minutes, until soft.
• Turn the heat up to medium-high, and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of sesame oil, and the chopped stir-fry vegetables and pineapple to the pan. Continue to cook until vegetables are tender. Then, add the "riced" cauliflower, and mix well. Continue to stir and cook until cauliflower is soft. Stir in the eggs, and allow to fully cook into the mixture.
• Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and Sriracha. Adjust the soy sauce and Sriracha to taste.
• Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and toasted cashews-- optional, but highly recommended!

CRISPY WHOLE THAI FRIED FISH WITH GINGER TAMARIND SAUCE AND COCONUT-CILANTRO RICE PILAF

Steps:

• Special equipment: A large Dutch oven or deep wok, deep-fry thermometer and two 12-inch bamboo skewers
• Prepare the ginger tamarind sauce: In large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1/4 cup of the canola oil and allow to heat. Add the garlic, shallots and fresh ginger and saute until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sugar, tamarind paste, fish sauce, sambal and 1/2 cup water. Stir well and cook until the mixture is slightly reduced and has a maple syrup-like consistency, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Preheat 4 to 5 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven or deep wok. You need enough oil so the whole fish can be submerged.
• Prepare the fish: Make 3 diagonal slices into the flesh of one side of the snapper, cutting all the way to the bone and spacing the slices 2 inches apart. Repeat with the other side of the fish.
• Combine the cornstarch, rice flour, granulated garlic, ground ginger, salt and pepper in a large baking dish. Lightly dredge the fish all over with the seasoned flour, including inside the cuts. Shake off any excess flour, then form the fish into an "S" curve by threading two 12-inch bamboo skewers through the tail and body so it holds its wavy shape.
• Carefully place the fish into the hot oil so it is almost completely submerged. Fry the fish until deep golden and very crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. As it cooks, use a large metal spoon or ladle to carefully pour hot oil over any exposed part of the fish to ensure it cooks evenly. Carefully remove the fish from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain briefly. Season immediately with salt and lime juice. Carefully remove the skewers from the fish, and place it upright on a platter of Coconut-Cilantro Rice Pilaf. Pour the ginger tamarind sauce over the top. Garnish with the chilies and scallions.
• Rinse the rice by running it under cold water 2 or 3 times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures the rice comes out light and fluffy.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chili flakes and rice and stir well to coat the kernels evenly with oil. Add the coconut milk, salt, sugar and 1 cup water. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook until all the liquid has absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, keep covered and allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes to steam. Before serving, add the cilantro and fluff with a fork. Yield: 4 to 6 servings

GINGER FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and brown but not burnt. (This took me over 10 minutes.) With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and salt lightly.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining tablespoon oil and leeks. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Season lightly with salt.
• Raise heat to medium and add rice. Cook, stirring well, until heated through. Season to taste with salt.
• Fry eggs in remaining oil, sunny-side up, until edges are set but yoke is still runny. (It's up to you how you prefer your eggs - I like mine thoroughly cooked).
• Divide rice among four dishes and top each with an egg and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Evenly sprinkle leeks and crisped garlic and ginger over everything and serve.

THAI GINGER RICE

• Grate fresh ginger and garlic and place in a saucepan with 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil.

KAO PAD (THAI-STYLE FRIED RICE)

Steps:

• Choose and prepare vegetables. Select a combination with a variety of colors.
• In a wok, heat the oil and stir fry the ginger and garlic until golden.
• Remove them with a slotted spoon and save for later.
• In the same oil, stir-fry the vegetables until just cooked. Add the harder ones (like carrots) first, and the tender ones (like sprouts) last.
• Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.
• Add the rice to the wok and heat thoroughly.
• With your stirring spoon, make a hole in the center of the rice, down to the wok and put in the eggs.
• Stir until they are pretty well set before you mix them into the rice. The more you cook the eggs before stirring them into the rice, the drier the dish will be.
• Add the tomatoes, the reserved ginger and garlic and the stir-fried vegetables.
• Finally, mix in the chili sauce, soy sauce and lime juice.
• For serving, top each serving with thin slices of scallions. Put thin slices of lime on the side.
