Need a recipe for fried rice, wild rice, brown rice, risotto, sweet rice, saffron rice, polenta, pilaf or rice pudding? Maybe you need a recipe using cereal, barley, porridge oats, bran, rye, bulgur wheat or quinoa?
Once you have made fried rice the first time, you'll realise how versatile it is. Use whatever leftover or seasonal vegetables you like.
Despite its Thai sounding name, nasi pattaya originated from Malaysia. It's a simple fried rice in omelette parcel ; available at malay hawker stalls and usually served with sliced cucumber, tomato and drizzled with ketchup or chilli sauce.
An Indonesian friend brought me these delicious little parcels wrapped in banana leaf to snack on. They're good eaten at room temperature but even better when they're hot.
A classic breakfast for Thai people. It's great because it is warm, mild and filling, without being too heavy.
