THAI FRIED RICE RECIPE WITH SHRIMP (KHAO PAD GOONG ข้าวผัดกุ้ง)

Steps:

• If you're using whole fresh shrimp like I did, first pinch off the head, and peel the outer shell of the shrimp, leaving only the tail on (that's Thai style). You can also devein them if you'd like, but for small shrimp, to me it doesn't really matter.
• Peel 2 cloves of garlic, and then just finely mince them
• Slice ¼ of a sweet white onion into medium sized strips
• Finely dice about 3 - 4 green onions
• Take just 1 leaf of Chinese broccoli (kai-lan), slice it in half first along the spine, and then slice it into 1 centimeter sized strips
• Turn on your stove to medium high, heat up your wok (or frying pan), and add about 1 tablespoon of oil
• Once your oil is hot, add the garlic first, and stir fry continuously for about 15 seconds or so, until it gets nice and fragrant
• Next, toss in your shrimp, and fry for about 30 seconds - your shrimp should start to turn pink and feel more firm
• Add in a little less than ½ of your rice first. This is going to soak up all those delicious shrimp juices and oils and keep your rice nice and dry. Stir fry for about 10 more seconds - This is a little known trick to make good rice, so it remains nice and dry
• Scoot all your rice to one side of the pan, and then crack in the egg into the empty side
• Whirl the egg up, let it cook for a few seconds, and then start to mix it up with the rice and shrimp
• Keep stir frying for about 20 seconds until the egg is fully cooked, and then add in the rest of your rice, and give it a quick stir
• Add ½ tablespoon of soy sauce, ½ tablespoon of oyster sauce, just a pinch of sugar (optional), and continue stir frying your rice, making sure all the sauce get mixed in
• Then add your chopped Chinese broccoli and onions, and stir fry for another 30 seconds until the vegetables wilt, but they can still be crisp and not fully cooked
• Lastly, toss in your green onions, stir it a few more seconds, and it's ready
• Immediately dish your fried rice onto a plate
• Slice off a wedge of lime, and serve it on the plate next to the rice
• For the final touch, I like to sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper on top to give some extra flavor
• Add 3 tablespoons of fish sauce to a small bowl
• Slice about 5 Thai chilies (you can add more or less, up to you), and add them to the fish sauce
• Finally, I like it with a little squeeze of about ½ of a lime - but this is optional - and at many Thai restaurants it's only fish sauce and chilies
• That's is, give it a stir, and set it aside

THAI VEGETABLE STIR FRY IN 15 MINUTES

Steps:

• If using, put the veg oil into the wok, then add the garlic and stir fry for a minute.
• Add in chopped mushrooms and stir fry over a high-ish heat until water is released. If you're not using oil, you may need to add a splash of water to stop the garlic from catching or burning.
• Pop the carrots and broccoli in, and continue stir frying for a couple of minutes.
• Pour in the soy sauces and vegan Worcestershire sauce, the water and the sugar. Stir well - let the sauce boil, but only for around 30 seconds.

VEGETARIAN THAI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Combine all 'stir fry sauce' ingredients together in a cup or bowl. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Taste-test the sauce, keeping in mind that the first taste should be spicy-salty, followed by sweetness and the rich taste of the coconut milk. Adjust these flavors to suit your taste, adding more lime juice if too sweet or salty (note that it will be less salty when combined with the vegetables).
• Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then add the shallot/onion, garlic, ginger, and chili. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, then add the carrot, mushrooms, and cauliflower (if using). Also add 1/4 of the stir-fry sauce. Continue stir-frying 2-3 minutes.
• Add the broccoli and red pepper plus up to 1/2 of remaining stir-fry sauce, enough to gently simmer vegetables in the sauce (about 2 minutes). Note: this is a 'saucy' stir-fry that is never dry - the sauce is meant to flavor the rice or noodles it is served with.
• Finally add the bok choy or Chinese cabbage. Add more of the stir-fry sauce as needed, enough to just cover vegetables in sauce. Simmer until bok choy or cabbage is cooked but still bright green with some crispness (2-3 minutes more).
• Remove from heat and do one last taste-test. If not salty enough, add a little more fish or soy sauce. If too salty or sweet, add another squeeze of lime juice. Add more sugar or chili if desired. Top with fresh basil and serve over Thai jasmine-scented rice. Or, to bring out the coconut flavor, serve with Thai Coconut Rice. Note: Any leftover sauce can be stored for 1 week in a covered container in your refrigerator for future stir-fries.

THAI STYLE CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Combine chicken and ginger in a bowl, heat some of the peanut oil in a wok and cook chicken in batches, until browned all over, adding extra oil as needed.

• Add soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, sambal oelek, sweet chili sauce and sugar, stir to combine.
• Add bok choy, sprouts, onion, coriander, mint, stir, cover for just a few Min's to just wilt vegetables (you still want a good crunch), stir once more and serve.
• To serve: Serve as is on individual serving plates. Read note above if serving over rice or noodles.
