Cooking time: 20 minutes Serving: 2
Ingredients:
Day old Jasmine rice 3 cups
Egg 1-2
Jumbo shrimp 200g
Onion 1/4
Red & Yellow bell pepper 1/4 each
Shallots 1
Garlic 4 cloves
Thai chillies 1-4
Thai or Italian basil 1 cup
Oil 1 tbsp
Salted butter 1 tbsp

Thai Fried Rice Sauce:
Oyster sauce 2 tbsp
Fish sauce 1/2 tbsp
Maggi soy sauce 1/2 tbsp
(or dark soy sauce)
Honey 1 tbsp
Ground pepper 1/4 tsp

Garnish:
Cucumber& Lime

Tsp: teaspoon (5ml)
Tbsp: tablespoon (15ml)

***For milder taste add less chili or just omit it.
***Butter adds wonderful flavor to the dish but it can burn easily. So in this recipe, oil is used first, then butter is added later.
***I use dark soy sauce and fish sauce to get both the color and flavor, but you can choose one or the other only.

Direction:
1. Prepare all ingredients needed before cooking as things get cooked pretty quickly for this dish.
2. Using mortar and pestle, pound garlic, chilies and a pinch of sea salt into a paste to extract more aroma. However, crushing and mincing with a knife is fine too :)
3. In a little bowl, combine all the ingredients for Thai fried rice sauce (above) and set aside.
4. Place a frying pan on high heat then and add oil.
5. Add shallot then garlic chili paste and saute until it’s fragrant.
6. Add shrimps and sauté for about a minute. Push shrimps aside once it’s pink, add butter then onions and bell peppers.
7. Saute shrimps with vegetable for another minute then crack in an egg (or 2). Let the egg cook for little bit then scramble and toss to combine.
8. Add Jasmine rice and the prepared sauce. Mix until sauce is evenly combined with rice for 1 to 2 minutes.
9. Add basil, stir and toss until combined will with the rice and it’s ready.
10. Serve with cucumber and lime on the side
