I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Egg Fried Rice.


Egg Fried Rice.


This easy, deliciously comforting dish is more than acceptable as a meal on its own and that's how I like to eat it. I actually don't like fried rice when eaten with other foods and will always go for plain rice. I find the flavours of the fried rice clash with the robust flavours of the dishes I am serving it with. I have buckled under peer pressure today and made this vegetarian version.


Serves 4.


Preparation:

-1 onion, finely chopped.

-1 clove garlic, finely chopped.

-100g chopped carrots.

-3 whisked eggs, seasoned with 2tbsp soy sauce.

-800g cooked rice.


In a large wok with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, fry,

-garlic, with

-onions,

-carrots,

-salt/pepper.

Cook, stirring until the vegetables have softened, add

-3 whisked eggs.

Cook, stirring, until the eggs are cooked through, add

-cooked rice.

Stir fry to coat the rice in the egg and vegetable mix, add

-200g cooked sweet corns,

-1 sliced spring onion,

Stir to combine.

Serve.
