Thai Translation – Kao = Rice, Pad = Fried, Goong = Prawn, Moo = Pork
Fried rice is a staple dish in Thailand and is enjoyed at any time of the day. There are many variations of the dish – from meat only, to egg to herbs and spices. Fried rice is at its best when cooked over a very hot heat and with day-old rice. Newly cooked rice will be too moist and you may end up with a rice-pancake when cooking with this type. If you only have new rice to cook with, place it on a plate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
