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.
