Spicy Tom Yom Fried Rice

Tiredness is my worst enemy for a person who loves to cook and this simple one dish meal came into the scene when the enemy decides to strike :p  Spicy Tom Yom Fried Rice will do for dinner when tiredness takes over. I had been standing on my feet frying the crab filaments the past few nights ( this is the best CNY gifts to give to my friends and relatives  :p )  I used 9 grains to make this fried rice. Healthy and delicious. Love their firm springy texture and high fibre content :)   This fried rice is so simple to prepare that even a young lass can do it :)

The aroma from the tom yom paste and kaffir lime leaves make everyone wants another helping of this fried rice.  I arranged the cooked shrimps nicely on top of the fried rice instead of being combined into the rice,  this makes it even more attractive to the Piggies . Food presentation is very important even in  a simple dish like this . It helps to boost ones palate and make this simple one dish meal more appealing :)  This is how I tricked my Piggies to eat a simple fried rice to cover my laziness in preparing something more elaborate :p
