Nasi Goreng Tom Yam (TomYam Fried Rice)

Guys, remember I have already told you that Fried Rice is already a trademark in my kitchen (Nasi Goreng Belacan Ikan Bilis)? That's right everyone and within the short span of time, I couldn't help but cook this Nasi Goreng Tom Yam. Not something utterly a new style because I have already showcased the other version to Tom Yam previously (Tom Yam Prawn Fried Rice)? Plus, the whole list of the rest of the fried rice. All sorts of styles cooked alongside different ingredients (Egg Fried Rice, Nasi Goreng Ikan Bilis, Lamb Fried Rice, Chinese Fried Rice & Malaysian Fried Rice) and looks like I have not pulled up the brakes yet. Still going strong with fried rice potentially (Cantonese Fried Rice, Kampung Fried Rice, Belacan Fried Rice & Anchovies Long Beans Fried Rice). Alright, let's get up, close and personal to today's fried rice. Nasi Goreng Tom Yam. Tom yam paste made from a stretch and cooked alongside rice, squids, prawns, long beans, fish sauce and kaffir lime leaves. Bang! The first spoonful I bet will pop wake your palates instantly. 

Ingredients
For tom yam paste
1 lemongrass/serai 
1/2 inch roasted belacan
1/2 inch lengkuas/galangal
3 shallots
4-5 fresh red chillies
** blend/ground to a smooth paste 

Others
3 cups cooked white rice
2-3 squids/sotong - clean and slice into rings 
10 medium size prawns - de-vein and leave the tail on
1 tsp fish sauce
3-4 kaffir/limau purut leaves -  slice thinly 
10 long beans - slice into thin rings
4 tbsp oil
Salt (if needed) 
Method
In the heated oil, fry the chilli paste till aromatic and oil floats.
Add squids and prawns.
Stir and cook to tenderise both the seafood. 
Add rice, long beans, fish sauce, and salt (if needed).
Stir all together. 
Lastly add lime leaves, stir again and remove from heat.
Serve with limau nipis/calamansi lime.

    Always heard that the fish sauce takes fried rice to another level and so is oyster sauce in other dishes...But never have tried both!!
    Love the color, presentation!! Quick and easy yet absolutely delicious rice.
