Step-by-Step Instructions for Authentic Thai Fried Rice
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Thai Fried Rice. Dice your chosen protein and chop your vegetables, including onions, tomatoes, and Chinese broccoli. Mince the garlic and chili, and beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced protein and cook for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add more oil if needed and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes, then push to one side.
  4. Increase heat to high and add minced garlic and chili. Sauté for 30 seconds, then toss in onions, tomatoes, and Chinese broccoli. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add day-old jasmine rice, breaking up clumps. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Heat through for 3-4 minutes.
  6. Plate the fried rice and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with lime wedges and cucumber slices.
