Instructions
  1. Chop or dice all the veggies from table one in any shape and size you like. Keep them ready and set aside.

  3. Heat a large wok or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot enough, that a drop of water sizzles on contact, add coconut oil.

  4. In hot oil add chilies and garlic; sauté until fragrant.

  5. Add chopped onion, bell peppers, carrots, beans and zucchini; sauté until onion turns translucent.

  6. Add chopped baby corn, snow peas, green peas and broccoli. Sauté stirring constantly for 3 to 5 minutes.

  7. Add spring onion, cashews, currents, curry powder, chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce and salt; cook stirring continuously for 30-60 seconds. 

  8. Add the rice and chopped cilantro to the pan and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is hot, about 3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning before transferring to serving bowl.

  9. I garnished with cucumber slices, julienne carrot, lettuce and served hot with Thai tea.

Note
  • Brown jasmine rice or jasmine rice works the best but basmati rice also works too.
  • Using varieties of vegetable is always a choice. You can use what is available to make your dish more healthy and colorful.
  • To keep rice from sticking, make sure wok is very hot and well oiled.
