SERVING : 2 to 4

INGREDIENTS
350 g pre-cooked rice
4 tbsp peanut oil
2 eggs beaten
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp fish sauce
1/4 onion, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small tomato, quartered
1 red chilli, copped
4 tbsp coriander, chopped
salt, white pepper
1 lime, quartered
1/2 cucumber, sliced

1 Wok
1 Wooden spoon

PROCESSING METHOD

Mix the egg with soy sauce
* Combine the egg and one-half of the soy sauce into a bowl and mix it to a uniform consistency.

Fry the eggs
* Place the oil into a very hot wok. Add the egg mixture and stir until it is cooked. Now move it to the side of the wok.

Add the onion, garlic, chilli and the rice
* Next, add more oil to the wok. Add the onion, mix everything together well and then add the garlic, the chilli and stir again. Add a touch more oil and add in the rice.
TIP : Refrigerated rice is used in this recipe because when rice is chilled, the grains do not tend to stick together. This makes it the perfect consistency for fried rice dishes.

Add tomato soy sauce, fish sauce
* We now add the tomato, the soy sauce, and the fish sauce to the wok. Stir it all together well.

Finish with coriander
* Just before serving, stir in the chopped coriander making sure it is distributed evenly throughout the rice.

Present with lime, cucumber, onion
* Spoon your Thai fried rice into a serving bowl.
* Next, garnish it with slices of cucumber and a piece of lime. The lime can be squeezed over top of the rice to give it an added tangy flavour.

Serve
* You can now serve this dish to your friends or family.
* This version of special rice can be altered by adding shrimp, chicken, pork or beef. Experiment and surprise yourself!
