For those who love sour and spicy soups, Tom Yum soup is a bowl of broth that will truly delight your taste buds. If you, dear reader, enjoy traditional Tom Yum soup, then we boldly guarantee you'll also love this Tom Yum fried rice we're sharing today.
Ingredients
• 300 grams rice
• 120 grams chicken thigh (cut into small chunks)
• 20 grams lemongrass (sliced thinly)
• 3 chili peppers and 1 tablespoon of chili paste
• 3 teaspoons fish sauce and 1 teaspoon sugar
Step-by-step instructions
1. Pound the lemongrass, chili peppers, fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and chili paste together in a mortar and pestle until well mashed, then scoop it into a bowl (if you can't handle spicy food, you can skip the chili peppers).
2. Heat a wok and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Then add the chicken chunks and fry for about 5 to 8 minutes. Once done, scoop it into a bowl.
3. In the same wok, set the heat to medium and fry the pounded chili paste mixture for about 30 seconds.
Then add the rice into the wok and fry for about 5 minutes.
4. Once done, mix in the previously fried chicken chunks together with the rice and stir-fry well.
Once all these steps are complete, transfer the fried rice onto a plate and enjoy it deliciously paired with lime and chili peppers.
