Keto Thai Fried Rice

Khao Pad Moo

That’s fried rice, Thai fried rice to be precise. Khao pad translates to fried rice and moo is just pork. So we’re making fried rice with pork. This can be made with any protein of choice. You could use chicken, prawns, beef or even tofu. As always when we talk about rice on Keto we’re refering to cauliflower rice. I think fried rice is a universal dish across Asia and every country has it’s own unique spin on it. I mean if you’ve tasted Indian Chinese you’ll know that our fried rice tastes totally unique. In fact I’ve even done a Keto version of it.

So let’s cook up our Khao pad moo.

Prik Nam Pla

I swear when I first saw the recipe for this I didn’t think much of it. I thought to myself that this would be one of those things that I would never use, much like the vinegar and chillies that all Indian Chinese restaurants give you. But WOW! I cannot tell you how this transformed the rice. In the video I was just getting used to it but I used this condiment liberally over the next few meals. Even my dad really liked it and he used it with some pot rice I made for him later (with real rice). I did mention you can add some stevia to it and sweeten it but I think it’s not needed in hindsight.

You can also make this fried rice vegetarian by swapping the fish sauce for soya sauce and replacing the pork with tofu. You can fry up the tofu and get it nice and caramelized. You could also use ground meat with this. I did a Thai inspired Keto fried rice earlier on the show and if you like fried rice then try out my famous Keto pork fried rice as well. Enjoy!
