Thai-Style Egg Fried RIce


My dear bloggerians, I have a confession to make.



I did not creatively come up with that fried rice on my own. I found the recipe online. Click here for the best tutorial in video format. That demonstration is better than anything I could've written for you. Plus, it's really easy to make too. In fact, because I'm so bored with Nigerian dishes & the ingredients are really hard to come by, I have resigned to the mainstream grocery store to fulfill my nutrition needs. For me, it started becoming a real chore to drive for about 2hrs to get to an "ethnic" food store in either Toronto, Brampton, or Mississauga just to find pounded yam, or crayfish, or uyayak, or palm oil, e.t.c.

Anyhow, these days I eat whatever's handy...lots of pitas, wraps, salads, pot roast, indian cuisine, & so on. My new housemate is from Hong Kong, so recently we've been swapping cooking secrets & meals too :D He makes amazing things I tell ya! The man can cook. So I hope you're able to make this Thai-style egg fried rice, it was really delicious.

P.S: Goodluck

I jus realised that i really haven't been very experimental with food. Thus i dont eat much as ingridients 4 naija recipies r even harder to find at my endz, so i eat mostly pitas and wraps also.

Nice one Anya.
This is a special delicasy.

Really nice.

2 Vera, na wa for u...where will I even find the ingredients for abacha & ncha? lol...I don't even know what ncha is... & A pita is like a wrap for a buritto or something but it's also like a flying saucer. With a hollow inside you can stuff with veggies, cold cuts or whatever.

2 afrobabe, goat curry?! darn gurl you're on another level. I haven't made anything elaborate like that recently. Goat meat is so hard to come by around here I don't want to experiment with it.

2 wordmerchant, kudos to you on that brown rice tip. It will definitely be high in fibre.

2 caelestis angelus, this your name sef..it always makes me giggle. I know what you mean about those ingredients...I bet if you're in lagos or abuja you can find most of that stuff at park 'n' shop or variety supermarket.

2 beautifully conjured up, yes! I feel if I can't take that trip to Taiwan, I better go find a recipe for it online to feel 'Taiwan'!

2 Lolia, are you in high school or a special college? You could always try out the recipe when you're home.

2 mizchif, i'm there with you hun. I was stuck in a cooking rut for a really long time & it took lots effort to branch out into different kinds of cuisine. Do it...it's always a party outside the norm

Anya Posh said...

2 secret diary...hmm, ok. thanks for stopping by.

2 buttercup...you're welcome hun. check back often. I'm on a roll with these recipes.

2 ibiluv, it tastes good too!

2 tobenna, i really like the aroma of asian cuisine. I bet I could eat like a regular malaysian on a daily basis, no qualms. do you remember any recipes that you'd like to share?

2 oluwadee, hunny you're forgiven. lol. I'm sure you will like it. It was very tasty. goodluck!

The Nigerian government needs to learn that IMMORAL does not always equal ILLEGAL... Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's. Simple....
