This Thai-style fried rice is simple home-cooking at its best and the fermented component, Thai fermented pork sausage, is bought in – it couldn’t be simpler.

Ingredients

Method

Main

1.Heat oil in a large work over high heat until smoking. Add naem, garlic, chilli and onion, and stir-fry until fragrant and golden (4-5 minutes). Add rice, stir-fry until heated through (1-2 minutes), then add half the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and ¼ tsp freshly ground white pepper, stir, then push rice to one side of wok. Combine eggs with remaining fish sauce in a small bowl, pour into wok and stir occasionally until just set (1-2 minutes). Stir cooked egg through rice and stir-fry until rice is golden (4-5 minutes). Season to taste with extra fish sauce if necessary, then serve hot topped with spring onions, coriander, cucumber and roasted peanuts, and with lime wedges and Sriracha sauce.

Note Thai fermented pork sausage is available from select Asian grocers.

Drink Suggestion: Cold, crisp pilsner-style lager. Drink suggestion by Max Allen
