👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Prepare the aromatics and protein. Mince the garlic. Slice the scallions, separating the white/light green parts from the dark green tops. If using chicken, cut it into small, bite-sized pieces. If using shrimp, ensure they are peeled and deveined.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Cook the protein. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. If using shrimp, cook until pink and opaque, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the cooked protein from the wok and set aside.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 3
Scramble the eggs. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot wok. Pour in the lightly beaten eggs and let them set slightly before scrambling them into small pieces. Cook until just set, about 1 minute. Push the scrambled eggs to one side of the wok.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Sauté aromatics and add rice. Add the minced garlic and the white/light green parts of the scallions to the empty side of the wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cooked rice to the wok. Break up any clumps with your spatula and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes to heat the rice through.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Incorporate the chili paste. Add the nam prik pao to the rice. Stir vigorously to coat every grain of rice evenly with the paste. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is well-heated and the chili paste is fragrant and slightly caramelized.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Combine and finish. Return the cooked protein to the wok. Add the optional fish sauce if desired. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for another minute. Stir in most of the dark green scallion tops.
⏱️ 1 minute - 7
Serve immediately. Plate the Khao Pad Nam Prik Pao and garnish with the remaining dark green scallion tops. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the rice.
