    Get Everything Place First

    Mise en place is the concept of having everything ready before cooking. With this recipe, it is especially important to be ready before you start cooking. There are just too many ingredients that you will need to have ready really fast due to the cooking speed.

    Choosing Healthier Ingredients

    You can adapt this by changing out any of the ingredients. I used a fair amount of coconut oil, which is really pretty high in saturated fat. You could just as easily use canola oil, sesame, or even olive oil, even though it's not typical Thai style to use it.

    Choosing The Rice

    Long grain and brown, whole-grain rice is obviously healthier than simple, refined white rice. I prefer Thai jasmine fried rice for anything precooked because it smells amazing and you can get a brown rice version. It's surprisingly available too. I have been finding it in the Houston area in the regular supermarkets in the Asian section. Whatever you choose you will want to pre-cook it and chill it which allows the best flavor when you stir-fry it.

    Choosing A Protein

    You can make this without any protein if you want. I saw the fake lobster and thought it would go well. You can kind of use your intuition but Mod, My Thai Wife, said chicken, seafood, tofu are good choices to go with a coconut flavor. Make it your own!
