Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Aromatics

    Mince the garlic, finely chop the shallots, and finely chop the lemongrass.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mixed Vegetables

    If using fresh vegetables, wash, peel, and dice them into small pieces. If using frozen, measure out the desired amount.

Cooking the Fried Rice

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic, chopped shallots, and chopped lemongrass to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Cook the Tofu

    Add the diced tofu to the pan and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add Mixed Vegetables

    Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

  5. 8

    Incorporate the Rice

    Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan and stir well to combine all ingredients.

  6. 9

    Add Tom Yum Paste

    Spoon in the Tom Yum paste and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the rice and vegetables are coated.

  7. 10

    Season the Rice

    Pour in the soy sauce, lime juice, chili sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.

  8. 11

    Final Stir-Fry

    Continue to stir-fry the rice for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing it to become heated through and slightly crispy.

Garnishing and Serving

  1. 12

    Garnish the Fried Rice

    Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  2. 13

    Serve

    Serve the Tom-Yum Veg Fried Rice hot, garnished with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
