Recipe: Tom Yum Fried Rice with King Prawns

After cooking the tom yum pasta with king prawns dish, I still had some WORLDFOODS Thai tom yum paste left, so I used it to cook tom yum fried rice for our lunch. Fried rice is such a versatile dish, you can add any ingredients that you have in the fridge and with proper seasoning, it will taste good.

A quick search in the fridge and I decided to use some minced chicken breast, king prawns, and sliced French beans for my tom yum fried rice. I also added some pineapple chunks, a sweet element to complement the spicy and sour tom yum paste.

What a delicious plate of fried rice! So fragrant with a multitude of flavours - sweet, sour, spicy and salty. Top your fried rice with a fried egg each for extra oomph :)
