The Tom Yum Fried Rice can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere as this dish is simple and hassle-free to prepare. Why have it in restaurants when you can embrace your inner chef and prepare it from the comfort of your home? Besides that, this dish is also well balanced and nutritious, as it contains protein like squid and prawns, and vegetables, such as green beans, carrots and baby corn. Fry all the ingredients together and you have your very own home-cooked Tom Yum Fried Rice. Psst… here’s a pro tip to perfecting this dish; make sure to use thoroughly-chilled cooked rice to achieve a fluffy Tom Yum Fried Rice. Don’t forget to use the MAGGI® Tom Yum Stock Cube to get an authentic Tom Yum flavour. Simply sprinkle the crushed seasoning cube that is rich in fresh herbs and spices in your dish, adding flavour and unleashing the Tom Yum aroma in your kitchen. Remember to add a little water if the ingredients fried are too dry and start sticking to the pan. However, make sure to maintain a thick consistency before adding in the rice. Moreover, always cook at low heat to ensure that the rice is cooked perfectly. Stir-fry the prawns and squid first as its stock adds flavour to the Tom Yum Fried Rice. Oh! If you enjoy spicy food, add a few stalks of chopped bird’s eye chilli to the dish for an extra kick. Top it off with some scallions and fried shallots, and you’re done!
