Shrimp Paste Fried Rice Recipe ข้าวคลุกกะปิ - Hot Thai Kitchen

If I were to have one last meal, this would be a serious contender for that meal. Shrimp paste maybe an acquired taste right out of the jar, but mixed with the sweet pork and fresh veggies and lime, it's an incredible combination!

But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above).

[@vincentbenjamin6813]

Pailin's Kitchen hi Pai, this dish is very common in restaurants in Philippines and popularized by thai restaurants there. Love it!!!!

[@ceciliagonzalez605]

Funny how us Asians love the smell of shrimp paste. And the taste... with that candied pork, is pure heaven!!👏👏👏

[@timothyt8716]

There is no other resource, either broadcast or online, in my opinion, where you can get more information about authentic Thai cuisine than this amazing young woman. My wife and I lived in Thailand for 3 years due to my previous job. She helps us recreate many of the dishes we fell in love with while there.

[@labailavideo]

It’s been 2 days since I’ve seen my wife and daughter after frying the Shrimp paste. Hope they will come back. Lol

[@PailinsKitchen]

Lol!!

[@leftyla]

Hahaha OMG... I totally lol'ed at that!!

[@krisnapanyong]

hahahaha that is hillarious

[@gregbrown3283]

labailavideo Maybe you need Liam Neeson to find them. Plus kill multiple Albanians in the process.

[@roairenz]

Lol 😂

[@darrylreyes5977]

P’Pai, the Thai restaurant near our university serves something like this called “bagoong rice.” Bagoong is the Filipino version of shrimp paste. That dish is a best-seller there.

[@darrylreyes5977]

I used to work near a Thai restaurant that offered this dish. I missed eating it, so I tried this recipe and I loved it all, especially the candied pork!

[@drteddy70]

I love shrimp paste fried rice. Luckily a hawker in my neighbourhood hawker centre makes this. I order it regularly.

[@marrmrrs]

I got to learn to cook!!!... Have lived in Thailand for over 7yrs now and can cook the stuff i am familiar with and i can order Thai food along with the best of them BUT i have to try to cook this delicious food... This girl is so passionate and fun with it!... No more excuses!!

[@riodasperolas]

Thai cuisine is genius! And more so as it is taught by Pailin!

[@cecijuan6252]

Your smile is very comforting, makes things feel easy and fun! Please keep teaching, you are great

[@drizzlemaan]

Pailin, I’ve binge-watched about 10 of your vids in a row now. Found out about several new dishes, how to use fish sauce, and cooking techniques. Definitely subscribed. Loving the channel. Please keep it up! 😁

[@SereneVannoy]

I just love so many of your recipes (and for me, the funkier, the better). I just found out I have a Thai grocery nearby, too, so I get to go add to my stash next weekend. Thanks for all the great videos! This is my favorite cooking channel.

[@ishwaryaanand9198]

I love the flavour of shrimp paste so definitely trying it

[@kiwifarms]

One of my favourite thai dishes, I have got the shrimp paste and now have the recipe, thanks!😋😋😋😋

[@oddferkout]

My favourite dish! Only a few restaurants here in Chicago offer it and when they do, it's a real treat.

[@slk9104]

My all time favorite dish at Thai restaurants in Singapore. Thank you! Now I can make my own.

[@jasonhiga5902]

Your continual cheerfulness and enthusiasm always make me smile 😊

[@bennyleong6164]

Thanks very much for sharing your culinary expertise with us. You make it look so tasty. You are always looking so fresh and yummy as the dishes you serve up. Thanks again.

[@chico2001ful]

I looooooooove you channel! I'm super glad I found it and glad I found you. I love learning everything about Thai. I love how you are so detailed and specific to cook the best Thai food. I went to Thailand last year. Best food experience and place ever.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

[@nikolaasdigi]

Thank you so much for all the lovely recipes! I'm quite a newbie at Thai cooking, but thanks to your videos I'm getting better at it everytime I try a new recipe. :)

[@cilimosi]

Your recipes are amazing!!!! Massive thank you from the Polish guy in the UK :D

[@dilipjaisingh4485]

You are marvellous in thai food making simple and mouth watering

[@richardhaw9757]

seeing you again warms the winter up. i will try your recioe

[@tonydebua]

So good, Khun Pai.

[@rachelann5470]

Im a filipino and i loved thai food so much...

[@fredycuento1331]

Yummerz....Kao Kluk Gapi is my favorite thai rice dish.. used to the smell of shrimp paste...

[@myamoeaye6328]

It’s my favourite together with corn soup.

[@7rl1]

I used Granny Smith apples in place of green mango and it worked pretty good!

[@mralrashedq8]

Hello ... As usual, the food is amazing and the way you cook and serve is very worthy of 10 stars .... I wish I could find a Thai restaurant in Kuwait in this quality and that clean ... I wish you success in ur life sweet chef ... big fan 👍🌺😊

[@PaulTranter]

That looks totally amazing and อร่อยมากตรับ - very delicious. The smell of cooking shrimp paste makes my family leave the room, but they all love it when the dish is cooked. I am going to make this very soon. ขอบคุณตรับคุณPailin.

[@CarlosDiaz-rm1gy]

I really love shrimp paste. Now a can cook a new dish in my home. Yo realmente amo. Ahora puedo cocinar un nuevo plato en mi hogar.

[@chris210352]

I grew up with shrimp paste, but a lot of people hate the scent. I love it!

[@onetouti]

There’s a lot of similarity with Vietnamese cooking, we have a version of caramelised pork with shrimp paste, very good. We eat it with plain rice, chunks of cucumber and a lot of herbs, mint, coriander, and other Vietnamese herbs

[@Aceof2Hearts]

I have Belacan at home. I will try this fab recipe and cook it outside the house. Shrimp paste has really an intense favour and smell. LOve your videos. you are such an inspiration to home cooks!!!! THanks.

[@Moonlightrealgirl]

Just saw this dish at a thai restaurant menu I’m going to tmr! Might give it a try

[@chuckchugumlung773]

Yuuum! I love this dish! i recommend some cilantro for some freshness. We use green beans because long beans are harder to find. But still good!

[@iamrooj]

love your reaction when you flip the egg XD

[@Nic30Dk]

Again.. An amazing video..

[@D3R3LICTRECORDS]

You had me at "candied pork"!

[@reno3466]

Omg I am hungry!! So good !

[@yellowsubmarine6129]

This looks so good! That caramel pork especially... Its kind of like korean bibimbap but oh-so-thai :)

[@thewaythingsare8158]

I find Its rather nice to make up your own morsel selection in a fresh crisp iceberg lettuce leaf, and then fold it into a little parcel and then post this little flavour texture bomb down the hatch, or your partners or your neighbours, because believe me they are going to know what you are having for supper.

[@evotube]

This is crazy, i just tried this last week from new thai restaurant here. And it's very tasty and delicious! I like it, and then you show this video, such a coincidence!! Thank you!!!

[@PailinsKitchen]

:)

[@Tulips47223]

I think shrimp paste is an Asian thing. I love shrimp paste too and don't really mind the smell of it. I'll give this one a try!

[@chewher4171]

I love fermented krill paste.

[@charleneshyrellezabala5726]

I like when u speak your mother tongue.. BTW great recipe 👍

[@888katiechau]

I just made this earlier and everyone in family loves it. I added pineapple and cherry tomatoes at the end. Yum!! Thank you

[@PailinsKitchen]

Pineapple sounds delish! Congrats!

[@thefarguy1802]

Hi , in which video you talk about shrimp paste , wanting to forward to a friend please . I love your work and the positiveness you bring out in your videos

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi Adam here! If you want to ask her directly rather than put it out to the community (see her note above on comments) you can check out options to get hold of her here hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact Cheers!

[@jasoneyes01]

Shrimp paste, I hear the fire department. Oh, what's that smell. Call the fire department. :)

[@stevencornelio6863]

9:10 I bet that siren in the background was because the neighbors reported the smell of the frying shrimp paste to the police.

[@zacchie]

Omg that egg flip, i can never do that!

[@kitchiedomingo9522]

the thai restaurants here in the philippines serve this, too. we've enthusiastically embraced it and call it bagoong rice, bagoong being our word for gapi. love, love, love it! thanks for the recipe! :)

[@me0wKat]

looks so much like a korean bibimbap :3

[@roadtrip5643]

I love thai food and i always like to try it.but my problem is im having a hardtime looking for palm sugar.what is better substitute for that.thanks

[@alevusmanzade8543]

We got also our version of this dish. We call “Nasi Goreng Belacan” in Malaysia 🇲🇾 and i believe in Indonesia 🇮🇩 they call it “Nasi Goreng Terasi”❤❤❤❤

[@atechona9514]

OMG i miss thailand!

[@stephentfchan]

One of my fav too, but to my knowledge there should be Thai sweet sausages in this dish too? I like that sausage so much

[@clintmcallister1647]

I recently found this at a Thai restaurant in St Pete, FL called Sila Thai. They have a whole "secret" menu with authentic dishes on it. I have gone now every day for last 2 weeks...

[@SvenBolin]

This one of the most delicious meals in Thailand, my friend makes a superb Kao Grok Kapi but not with caramelized pork but with chicken and the sweet sausages (kun chiang?).

[@PailinsKitchen]

Yes, kun chiang is a great & easy way to add sweet protein to it!

[@hongkhamchittarath7224]

I don't recognize this one but it's super as usual and awesome.

[@nijokongapally4791]

good video💖👍

[@eltan146]

kapi my favourite we called it balachan

[@sharonparker7697]

Love your recipes, makes me laugh when I hear you say pork butt 😂 here in Australia it is called pork shoulder

[@serfcity1]

Pai is right. This is one dish you see everywhere in Thailand but never see in Thai restaurants abroad. It is a good dish. One dish I miss very much and you never see in Thai restaurants in the US is: Gaeng Hang Lay

[@vincentbenjamin6813]

The Serf this is very common in thai restaurants in the philippines and i love it!

[@harolda611]

Also common in Thai lunch places here in Sydney, and they usually use green apple instead of fresh mango/carrot.

[@jmchan7982]

Oh :)) the pork's just like our "Tocino" a Filipino cured pork meat.. it's so sweet and tender..

[@danajohnson5993]

“Shrimp paste is your friend “, words to live by. Will try, but what is that beautiful small wok you fried the dried shrimp in? Is it brass? Where did you get it?

[@Doughnutthanwarin]

They just scared of shrimp paste bcus of the smell, but believe me shrimp paste can make a lot of yummy Thai dish. And when you eat a dish from it you dont really smell it so strong. Soooooo yummy i want my nam prik kapi !!!!!

[@xchorro]

i’m using shrimp paste for a sauce with shallot, fish sauce, chili flakes and shrimp paste REEKS! lol i felt this way when i first had fish sauce but came to love and appreciate it, i wanna get there with shrimp paste 🤣

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

I love shrimp paste, but then I was born in Indonesia and shrimp paste is used there as well.

[@pascualsolorzano5792]

You're young beautiful lady. You're meals look and are so delicious, best of all you make cooking a lot of fun. Keep up the great job..

[@wnose]

I wonder if it'd be different if I sauteed the shrimp paste then dissolved it in the liquid used to cook the rice.

[@ridsectmerah]

hello pailin...can u teach how to make 'sadao grill beef

[@quangdoan7073]

I’m Vietnamese. We have a recipe almost similar. This is one of those food you have to grow up eating or have an acquired taste. It’s not for everyone.

[@cafe80sarigachu]

Can you make many uses of Thai shrimp paste,please...Salamat po.

[@jaypaby]

+PailinsKitchen This is probably one of my favorites. Thanks for posting this one :-) Sawasdee Krub :-)

[@realamerican2580]

Where do they sell the shrimp paste?

[@cozyvamp]

Could you put the link to the actual recipe in, please. If I click that link and don't go there immediately, by the time I do get there, I've forgotten what recipe it was for. I love your recipes (and your videos), but this would really be a big help. Thanks!

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hey Beejay and sorry for the delay - the link is in the video description above - did you find it? Is hot-thai-kitchen.com/shrimp-paste-fried-rice/ (Adam from HTK)

[@shenkel869]

I so want to try this but I live in the Midwest. looks amazing. maybe some day...

[@bkpickell]

I live in the midwest too, but there is nothing in this dish that I can't find locally. I was at the asian market yesterday and seen everything there.

[@kdm12701]

If you go to Importfood.com you will find just about everything Thai that you would ever want or need and more. For those without a good Asian grocery store, this would be a good alternative.

[@joelalves6610]

Hi Pai, I am curious about shrimp paste! Could you please recommend me a few good dishes that contain shrimp paste? At home I have some Indonesian dried shrimp paste ("terasi"). Thanks in advance.

[@panruethaithaipan3740]

The mango dipping sauce, spicy stir-fry pork belly, fried rice with mackerel, etc. Hope this is not too late lol

[@martinitang]

can i use Lee Kum Kee shrimp paste in a jar from the supermarket?

[@yerthao3341]

Hey Pailin, can you make a video for boat noodles?

[@shemiere]

I wonder if those long bean is raw or you pre-treat them say simmer for 3min？

[@BaronSamedi1959]

Thank you very much Khun Pai for this recipe. I made it and it tastes delicious. My Thai girlfriend was surprised I could make this. The only thing I left out was the chillies as I like my food "phet nid noi".

[@PailinsKitchen]

Congrats!

[@halimshoman837]

Please chef who was the shrimp paste made?!

[@tillumeka8335]

can you show how to make your own shrimp paste. i like to make my own pastes. Please please please.

[@MrPaprcka]

Wow! That looks so god! I love the style of your cooking too... Can I ask you what is black soy sauce? Ive got dark and light soy sauce and kecap manis.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Black soy sauce is kind of half way between dark soy sauce and kecap manis. It's a uniquely Thai thing, as far as I know, a little sweet, not very salty, but gives a very dark colour.

[@MrPaprcka]

PailinsKitchen Thanks for your qucik reply! Sadly I cant get that sauce in my country.So what do you think about mixing equal parts of kecap manis and dark soy sauce and using it instead of black soy sauce? Would it work? Or should I omit black soy altogether? thanks

[@PailinsKitchen]

MrPaprcka I would try mixing dark soy with kecap manis. Should work okay :)

[@SvenBolin]

BTW. Why not show the world how to make Yam Pla Sardine? Easy, quick and inexpensive yet so delicious and satisfying.

[@mepandaba]

+Sven Bolin Why she has to cook everything in easy and quick that its show the world an improficiency. Because Thai food is more than Yam and Tom Yum if you want to know how to cook Yam Pla Sardine menu, just request !!! In the other side, you know how to cook Yam Pla Sardine that just show it us. Oop!! if you wanna show us, plz ask first. maybe the world might not wanna know how to cook from your presentation

[@aoringo13]

What else can you make with shrimp paste?

[@dennydenlim]

You can find This Dish in a Thai restaurant in Beijing.

[@julsitos2]

Bagoong fried rice!

[@BethanyMeira]

If we prefer not to use pork can we substitute beef or boneless chicken thighs?

[@polamnuaypol8349]

Yes you can.

[@boonskyler]

your channel is my goto channel for Thai food.. that is cleaver, carrot/lemon juice sub for green mango.

[@lakbaylahi]

Is Thai shrimp paste similar to Malaysian belacan or Filipino bagoong? Thanks! :)

[@batteryboy18]

Depends on region. Malaysia sell shrimp paste in cuboid or cylinder form, while the Philippines idk.

[@davidwatherton]

Green apples like granny smith might do well with this dish if you don't have green mangoes. Just an idea. Sumontha

[@melrom5698]

Our shrimp paste here is not in a form of paste. You could still see a lot of tiny shrimps about a size of rice. Should I grind it more with food grinder or use mortar and pestle to achieve the paste like appearance like in your video?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi Adam here - and good question! If you want to ask her that one directly though rather that put it out to the community (as she doesn't see the comments on here once the post is more than a week old as per her note above), you can check out all the options to get hold of her at hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact . Cheers!

[@chubbyluna4467]

What can I substitute for palm sugar? Its not available in my country.

[@Doughnutthanwarin]

Chubby Luna just use white sugar or brown sugar

[@chmellen]

Wow, any other surprises?

[@pleummmm]

Hello krub P'Pai! I'm the one who msg you for the recipe on Facebook krub. Hehe will make it sooon :)

[@kathklim]

What will be a good substitute for palm sugar? I can't find it where I live...

[@PailinsKitchen]

You can use brown sugar for this recipe :)

[@kathklim]

PailinsKitchen Did that ! Thanks for the reply... I love this dish!!

[@nattga]

This should have been Thai National Dish instead of Pad Thai.

[@mkgoon9891]

Ours is called belacan fried rice.
