Tom Yum Fried rice

[missjo]

My favorite Thai restaurant Doytao does this delicious combination of Tom Yum soup flavours in a friend rice with seafood
& I decided to see if I could make my own version
I did today & it came out soooo yummy


Tom Yum Fried rice
Part 1
500g long grain rice
5 cups water
115g Tom Yum paste
1 stalk lemongrass finely sliced
In large saucepan, bring water to boil, add paste & lemongrass stir till paste fully dissolves then add rice, put on lid & lower temp to simmer for 15min stirring every 5 min, remove from heat & allow to sit for another 15 min with lid still on till all liquid is absorbed & rice fluffs with fork remove lid & allow to cool & dry out
Part 2
250g raw king prawn meat cleaned & deveined

This does sound good, as I loves me some shellfish and squid.

Never been too successful at stir fry but I may have to try this. Have you considered substituting shiitake mushrooms or other more exotic kinds in this mixture?

Also, I'm not sure I've ever seen "Tom Yum" paste in the market. There's an Asian market around here somewhere, which I will have to check. Prolly need to get the lemongrass there too.

Tom Yum paste is the basis for a Thai tom yum hot & sour soup usually made with shrimp & mushrooms & it's delicious especially if you have a cold it makes you feel really good
I guess you could use shitake mushrooms I just found small browns were really cheap at the fruit market this week.
If you can't find Ton Yum paste let me know & I'll send you some

There's always Amazon. They carry it. I see lemongrass at Albertson's all the time, btw.

I thought they made scallops with cookie cutters.

A lot of "scallops" are actually shark fin.
