1 egg
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 shallot, thinly sliced
a few prawns, de-shelled, cleaned & drained
1/2 - 3/4 tbsp Tom Yum paste (not too much otherwise the fried quinoa will be too spicy, sour & salty)
pepper to taste (optional)
some oil
Method
1. Heat pan and add some oil. Add garlic and shallot. Saute until fragrant. Push them to the side of pan.
2. Lower heat to medium, with the remaining oil in the pan (it's fine if there's no more remaining oil ... healthier! wink emoticon ). Add beaten egg and scrambled it. Push egg to the side.
3. Heat little oil, add and stir fry prawns until they turn pink.
4. Add rice and Tom Yum paste. Mix all the ingredients well. Enjoy!
*How to cook quinoaIngredients (serves 1):
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water
Method
1. Rinse quinoa well until water runs clear to take away the bitterness.
2. Drain and boil quinoa with water.
3. Reduce heat, make a quick stir and let quinoa simmer until all water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat.
4. Drain it thoroughly after it’s cooked. Return the quinoa to the pan after draining then cover and let sit for 15 minutes to dry quinoa out. This way, it's light and fluffy!
