🙋 Recommended for

  • ⭐ Those who want to enjoy Thai-style khao pad or an exotic fried rice at home using minimal ingredients
  • ⭐ People looking for a refreshing twist on regular scrambled egg fried rice, enhanced with anchovy sauce and scallions

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • Eggs 2
  • Ground pork handful
  • Minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • Sugar 0.5 tablespoon
  • Anchovy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • Rice 1 bowl
  • Scallion handful
  • Oyster sauce 0.5 tablespoon
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Toasted sesame seeds to taste
  • Cooking oil generously

Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat cooking oil in a pan, crack in 2 eggs, and scramble roughly with chopsticks before setting aside separately.
  2. Add a little more oil to the pan, then add ground pork and minced garlic. Sauté until the pork is fully cooked.
  3. Once the pork is nicely browned, add 0.5 tablespoon of sugar and continue sautéing until the sugar dissolves and the pork surface turns golden, achieving caramelization for enhanced umami.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of anchovy sauce and stir-fry thoroughly with the pork, letting the oil heat up to eliminate any fishy odor while infusing deep flavor into the meat.
  5. Add 1 bowl of rice and a handful of scallions cut to about two finger-widths, mixing well.
  6. For final seasoning, add 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce and stir-fry vigorously until the scallions just begin to wilt and the seasonings evenly coat the rice.
  7. Finally, mix in the previously set-aside scrambled eggs and lightly toss once more.
  8. Press the fried rice firmly into a bowl, invert it onto a plate to shape, then sprinkle with black pepper and toasted sesame seeds to finish.
  1. Make scrambled eggs and set aside; sauté ground pork and minced garlic together.
  2. Add sugar and anchovy sauce in order to the cooked pork, replacing chili oil with rich umami and aromatic depth.
  3. Mix in rice, sliced scallions, and 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce, then combine with the scrambled eggs and finish with black pepper and toasted sesame seeds.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Immediately after adding anchovy sauce, stir-fry the pork and sauce over high heat to evaporate the fishy aroma and leave behind only the rich, exotic umami flavor.
  • Scallions are delicate and easily lose their freshness—add them at the very end and stir gently to preserve their fragrance and crisp texture.
  • Pressing the fried rice tightly into a bowl and flipping it onto a plate mimics the presentation found in Thai street-side restaurants, giving an authentic dining experience.
