Stir –Fry Tom Yam Shrimp Recipes

There are so many ready made paste out there now. You can find it in most of the supermarket shelves and it comes in packets or jars. It really makes life so much easier for us if we want to cook some quick meals. I like using Tom Yam paste in some of my cooking. Tom Yam paste is not only for Tom Yam soup but you can use it to make stir-fry, fried noodles and also fried rice. Tom Yam paste can be pretty sour so you have to add some sugar to balance up the taste. This is an appetizing dish and goes really well with rice.

Ingredients:

½ pound of shrimps – shelled and de-veined
One big onion – sliced thinly
2 cloves of garlic – chopped
2 tomatoes – cut into wedges
1 tsp or more sugar
3 tbsp of Tom Yam paste
Salt to taste

1. Heat up some oil in a frying pan; add in the onion and garlic. Stir fry until fragrant and onion soften.
2. Add in the tom yam paste; stir fry for a few second. Add in the shrimps and continue to stir fry until the shrimp changes to light pink color.
3. Add about ½ cup of water and the tomatoes. Continue to stir-fry until sauce thicken. Add in the sugar and salt to taste.
4. Dish out and serve with warm rice.
