Discover the Secret to Authentic Thai Chicken Fried Rice
Today, I’m thrilled to unveil one of my closely guarded recipes: Authentic Thai Chicken Fried Rice. This dish is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, featuring day-old cooked rice that fries beautifully to soak up all the savory goodness.
Ingredients and Preparation
For this recipe, you can customize the fresh vegetables to your liking. Firstly, I recommend Chinese broccoli for its crunch, sliced white onions for sweetness, and any other veggies that inspire you. These ingredients not only enhance flavor but also add vibrant colors and nutritional value.
The Secret Ingredients
One of the keys to this dish is its distinctive seasoning. Instead of sugar, I use agave nectar to subtly balance the flavors. Alongside this, granulated chicken seasoning, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and Golden Mountain seasoning create a complex flavor profile that captures the essence of authentic Thai cuisine.
Cooking Method
To begin, heat a wok or large skillet with a bit of oil over medium-high heat. First, add minced garlic and chopped red chilies to infuse the oil with aromatic flavors. Then, stir-fry thinly sliced chicken until it’s nearly cooked through, allowing it to absorb the rich flavors.
Incorporating Vegetables and Seasonings
Next, add your chosen vegetables to the wok and continue stir-frying until they’re tender yet still crisp. Then, incorporate a blend of fish sauce, oyster sauce, agave nectar, and soy sauce for a savory umami punch. Gently fold in the day-old rice, breaking up any clumps and ensuring it’s thoroughly coated with the sauce and seasonings.
Finishing Touches with White Pepper
After incorporating the rice, sprinkle with white pepper and stir well to distribute the flavors evenly. This final touch enhances the dish with a subtle heat and aromatic finish.
