Introduction
An authentic Thai classic consisting of rice stir-fried with fragrant shrimp paste, surrounded by a vibrant array of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy toppings including caramel pork, crispy shrimp, shredded omelet, and fresh vegetables.
Step 1
Caramelize sliced shallots in a little oil until lightly browned, then add palm sugar and cook until melted and caramelized to an amber color.
Step 2
Add the sliced pork, a splash of water, fish sauce, soy sauce, and black soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Simmer the pork on medium-high heat for about 30 minutes until the sauce is thick, syrupy, and the shallots have completely dissolved. Set aside.
Step 4
Beat the egg, pour it into a lightly oiled pan over low heat, and swirl to form a thin omelet. Flip, cook briefly, remove, and slice into thin shreds.
Step 5
Deep fry the dried shrimp in cold oil on medium-low heat until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using day-old or slightly dried cooked rice helps prevent the grains from breaking or becoming mushy during stir-frying.
If you are new to shrimp paste, start with 1 Tbsp instead of 2, and add a pinch of salt or fish sauce to compensate for the saltiness.
Lime-soaked shredded carrots serve as an excellent easy-to-find substitute for sour green mango, offering a similar crunch and acidity.
