🌶️ Teddy's Tom Yum Fried Rice
"You put fried rice in Thailand, it becomes Khao Pad Tom Yum (ข้าวผัดต้มยำ).
You put fried rice in my rough dialect-speaking hawker centre and it corrupts and transforms into ‘Fly Lice’."
This is a healthier version of Tom Yum Fried Rice that uses ingredients from Nam Prik Pao and Tom Yum Paste recipes.
From the heart-healthy vitamin K2 present in grass-fed beef to the antioxidant ergothioneine in mushrooms, eat away!
