Thai Vegan Fried Rice (Khao Phad Jay)

Recipe #111314 | 27 min | 15 min prep | add private note

Satisfying fried rice with no eggs, no fish sauce, and no meat, but lots of Thai flavor from pepper, garlic, and a bit of curry paste. From Foolproof Thai Cooking, by Ken Hom. He says this is a typical dish of a Thai Buddhist festival in the autumn, which people celebrate by eating only vegetables for a week. This is spicy, and I say this as someone who eats spicy Thai and Mexican foods on a regular basis. My favorite part of this dish was the black pepper, but it did make it hot. If you do not like spicy, do not make this. If you like spicy but not very hot, you may want to reduce the amounts of black pepper and garlic quite a bit. Yes, it says three Tablespoons of garlic. Yes, that's about two small heads of garlic - not cloves, heads. And if you do like things very spicy (mmm), use the amounts directed and enjoy.

We added broccoli and peanuts. This came out great. Not too spicy but just enough kick to leave a little burning sensation in your mouth. Thanks for the recipe!

    I guess "spicy" is a relative term. We used as much (a bit more, in fact) garlic and pepper as called for, and we found it a little on the bland side. Next time, I'll use more of the curry paste and some hot chili oil to give it a bit more of a kick. This was a really tasty dish, though! I added peanuts, carrots, and peas in place of the green beans to get a few more veggies in. If you love spicy food, though, make sure you have some chili sauce on hand to liven this one up!

    Yummm. We had this with Sweet Potato Thai Curry #121137, which was also good but I kept going back for more fried rice. I don't think I've had any other kind of fried rice other than the take-out kind with eggs and peas and lots of soy sauce. While I like that kind, this was awesome. Lovely and peppery, which gives this a very unique spiciness and lots of garlicky flavor. We followed the recipe exactly, except using medium-grain brown rice and unrefined peanut oil instead of vegetable oil. I used frozen green beans and corn, which worked very well. I didn't have the cucumber, but we did serve with lime and scallions, which really give this a "Thai" flavor. Delicious and highly recommended.
