Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 egg
- 2 talks lemongrass
- 1 small shallot, (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic, (minced)
- 2 thai red chilies, (optional, or other hot pepper)
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 green onions, (sliced, green part saved for topping)
- ½ cup peanuts, (plus more for topping)
- handful of Thai basil
- lime wedges, (for serving)
- fried shallots, (for serving)
Instructions
- First, prepare the lemongrass. Cut off all but the last 4" of the root end. Remove 2-3 layers of the tough outer skin and smash with a mortar or the butt end of a knife until well mashed and fragrant. Then mince finely.
- Next, heat a wok or large fry pan to high heat and add the oil and egg. Quickly stir the egg until well scrambled and set. Remove from the wok.
- Add the shallots, green onion whites, garlic, red chilies, and lemongrass to the wok. Quickly stir and cook for about 1 minute.
- Then, add the cooked rice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar to the wok. Continue to cook until the rice absorbs all of the liquid and is heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the peanuts and Thai basil until wilted. Serve with some sliced green onions, crushed peanuts, fried shallots, and lime wedges.
Notes
- Feel free to add more red chilies if you like it spicy!
