Hi Lee,

Here's one:

Cao Pad Gai (Chicken Fried Rice) Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients:

1 lb. boned skinned chicken breast
½ lb. (2 cups sliced) yellow onions
1 bunch green onions

2 Tbs vegetable oil
2 Tbs finely grated garlic
fresh chiles of your choice, as many as give you the heat you want, sliced
into rings

1/4 cup fish sauce (less is better than more)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 to 8 eggs

8 cups steamed rice, chilled or at room temperature

1 cucumber, sliced diagonally 1/8" thick
6 green onions
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Lime Sauce (see below)

Procedu

1. Slice the chicken across the grain into strips 1/8" thick and 1 to 2
inches long. Peel the yellow onion, remove the stem and slice vertically
into thin strips. Set aside separately. Slice the green onion diagonally
into 1/8" pieces and set aside.

2. Heat a wok, add and swirl the oil, add the garlic and stir-fry 'til
lightly golden.

3. Add the chicken and chiles and stir-fry 'til the pink color disappears.
Add the yellow onion and stir-fry 'til the slices are translucent.

4. Add the fish sauce and sugar and mix them in thoroughly. Stir while you
add the eggs, one at a time, breaking the yolks. Continue stirring 'til the
eggs begin to set.

5. Add the rice and stir until the eggs are almost dry and the mixture is
well combined. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the green onions
from Step 1, mixing them in well.

6. Transfer to a warm serving platter.

7. Arrange sliced cucumbers, green onions and tomato wedges over the rice
in a decorative pattern. Serve immediately with Lime Sauce on the
side.

Jun's Nam Jiaow (Lime Sauce)

Green onion, red onion, prik bon (Thai pepperoncillo), fish sauce, lime
juice and cilantro (optional). Doesn't taste hot, but makes your face and
head sweat!

ENJOY!

Sqwertz (regular poster here) likes Vietnamese IIRC. My Thai wife and
daughter have no brand preference, they buy by price. Mostly anchovy-based,
sometimes shrimp or squid based. Generally in plastic bottles around 24 fl.
oz. We go through a bottle pretty fast. If yours will sit around for a long
time, you might want to get it in a glass bottle. Current brands in our
kitchen are Lucky and Nuoc Mam Pha San. The latter is a Vietnamese prepared
fish sauce with garlic, chile and vinegar for spring rolls.

I'm making mam ruoc sauce here in a minute. I even have fresh
pineapple for it.

Three Crabs brand for fish sauce. I sometimes buy other brands that
are reported to be good, but I'm not buying anything but Three Crabs
from now on. Glass bottle, costs an extra $1.50, but worth it.

-sw

thanks I don't mind spending the money if it is worth it, Lee

Fish sauce will always be a clear, coffee-colored liquid. I've
never seen a fish sauce made with anything but fish/anchovies.
Other fermented seafood products come in smaller jars or bottles and
are not clear.

I must admit, that for me, I like to pre-fry the rice in a little EVOO,
just to get it a little crispy and brown on the bottom. Jun doesn't often
let me in the kitchen. ;-)
