Thai Fried Rice




History

Talking about the most traditional, popular and common in Asia has to be no other than Thai Fried Rice aka Khao Phat. Thai Fried Rice is a variety of fried rice typical of central Thai cuisine. In Thailand, khao means rice and phat means to stir- fry. Thai Fried Rice is the most delicious and basic dish to conjure up. There are various kinds of fried rice ranging from seafood to vegetable to meat. What makes Thai Fried Rice different than any other fried rices is the fact that we use jasmine rice instead of typical long grain rice. In the United States of America, it may be difficult to find a traditional Thai Fried Rice, however, I know a place that has it, The place or restaurant is called Sea Siam Restaurant. Lastly, listed below are the recipe and ingredients on how to make Thai Fried Rice just in case my loyal viewers want to try making it at home. Thank you for your support, stay tune.
