Then add all the veggies and saute and mix the rice - that will indeed give you a way better flavor. Check my post for pineapple fried rice. You can use the same procedure - just skip the pineapples and add the veggies instead. That rice has a lot of flavor because of the coconut milk. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and trying out the recipe!!Anu Nanduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032965745985128768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129996476317783380.post-81019240416608288312010-09-13T15:01:01.917-07:002010-09-13T15:01:01.917-07:00Hi !

I m sorry to say that i couldnt get the taste of Thai fried rice... something was missing, though i carefully put in all the ingredients you mentioned... there was no spice, no flavour.. Is there anythng else that you could suggest apart from salt, red curry paste?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129996476317783380.post-11245155633537107522010-02-17T08:19:52.655-08:002010-02-17T08:19:52.655-08:00Hi Anonymous,

They carry vegan products and you might find it there.<br /><br />I also looked online and check out the templeofthai website - they have some sauces you can buy online - and they have the ingredients listed as well - their pad thai sauce has no fish sauce in it - so its a safe buy. The fish sauce used is to primarily add salt to the paste - you can add soy sauce instead to achieve this - and there are mushroom based soy sauce easily available and that will work good too. <br /><br />Cheers!Anu Nanduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032965745985128768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129996476317783380.post-90965982011840826982010-02-17T08:05:54.656-08:002010-02-17T08:05:54.656-08:00Oh sorry i didnot read the description fully.

I got mine from an asian store here that replaces the fish sauce with a mushroom based sauce. I have mentioned about it above too. But, you are right - it is tricky indeed to find out the ingredients of some of these sauces. Thanks though!Anu Nanduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032965745985128768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129996476317783380.post-80970075732225553912010-02-16T11:51:41.958-08:002010-02-16T11:51:41.958-08:00Hi if you are a vegetarian then the pad thai sauce...Hi if you are a vegetarian then the pad thai sauce contains fish sauce.
