Khao pad karee gai (fried rice with chicken and curry powder)

We chose this recipe from Vatcharin Bhumichitr's gourmet thai in minutes. Here's the generalization we have made: whenever the title of a cookbook includes the words "in minutes," "quick," or "fifteen minutes," be suspicious because the quality of the recipes goes down when the premise is how quick you can make it. This cookbook has proven this theory quite consistently. My miscalculation of salt when making 1-1/2 times the recipe doesn't change the fact that this was a pretty boring meal. Prep time: 3 minutes. Cooking time: 5 minutes. Enjoyment time: 30 seconds.
