Thai Basil Fried Rice | Woo Can Cook

Описание: Hello hi everyone! Wesley here. Today we’re adding to our growing series dedicated to the Bay Area restaurant scene with a shot at a Thai basil fried rice found at the Woo Can Cook fried rice pop up here in Oakland, CA. I can include myself in this series right? idunno. The point is, for the Bay Area locals, this particular fried rice is the newest addition to our pop up’s menu, meaning that you can come order this at one of our weekly pop ups, which is very exciting (more about this below, for folks interested). Pretty much by requirement, we’ll be doing our fried rice today with a bit of fish sauce, Thai chiles, and Thai basil, all three of which are just about the most iconically Thai ingredients that you can put in any Thai dish.

As you might guess, though, fried rice occurs throughout many different food cultures (Thai cuisine included), which means that the assembly of our dish today will look not too dissimilar to our Chinese, Korean, and Hawaiian inspired fried rices as well. Finally rounding this all out we’ll also be diving into what is by far the MOST challenging and most important element to our dish today, which is the rice itself (believe it or not), as we’ll have to we walk a fine line between mushy, overcooked, undercooked, soggy, chewy, and clumpy rice, all of which are challenges that come up when trying to reproduce the texture of leftover rice, without actually having…leftover rice. Hope you try it.
