Thai Fish Fried Rice with Cod | Khao Pad Pla

If using fresh jasmine rice, cook it in lightly salted water, then spread it out on a tray so that it cools completely and excess steam evaporates – the most delicious fluffy fried rice is made from cold, day-old rice.

Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels, then cut it into bite-sized cubes of about 2-3 cm. Finely mince the garlic, slice the spring onion (separating the white and green parts), and thinly slice the chilli.

In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, and cane sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
