Preparation

1. Prepare the Tamarind Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together tamarind paste, soy sauce, sugar, and water until well combined. Set aside.

2. Cook the Proteins

In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced tofu and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through. Push the proteins to one side of the skillet.

3. Scramble the Eggs

Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until cooked through. Mix everything together in the skillet.

Cooking

4. Fry the Rice

Add the cooked rice to the skillet and pour the prepared tamarind sauce over the top. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.

5. Add Vegetables

Add the chopped green onions and bean sprouts to the rice mixture. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Serving

6. Plate the Fried Rice

Serve the tamarind sauce fried rice hot, garnished with ground peanuts and lime wedges on the side.
