For those not familiar with lemongrass, hopefully its not as expensive as mine. I didn't have the time or energy to go back to the Asian grocery where I'd hope it'd be cheaper.<BR/><BR/>Tigerfish-I used the Por Kwan brand from Ranch 99. I'll have to try the Lee's brand another time. It took me so long to actually find the Tom Yum paste that I didn't dwell too much once I spotted it. <BR/><BR/>JJ- I'm sure egg beaters would be fine and not noticed. There's already a lot of flavor going on.<BR/><BR/>Mr Orph, thanks for the tip about freezing lemongrass. Seems like I'm freezing just about everything these days!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147449734209912973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975559754881811673.post-91194969374841380732008-05-06T02:50:00.000-07:002008-05-06T02:50:00.000-07:00Hope you like this Tom Yum fried rice.

It does not have that strong a tangy, hot and sour flavor compared to the soup version but I like every hint of that aspect in my fried rice.<BR/><BR/>I like it when you mentioned you like Jasmine rice. Hahah...I love Jasmine rice too. Here, they use short-grain rice more often and I just miss my long-grain jasmine rice :D<BR/><BR/>Which brand of Tom Yum paste did you use ? You can try Lee's brand avail in Ranch99.tigerfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575213806359208350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975559754881811673.post-85484382642745494902008-05-04T10:49:00.000-07:002008-05-04T10:49:00.000-07:00Fried rice is my favorite thing to eat, I think......Fried rice is my favorite thing to eat, I think...well...one of them...I have too many favorites :-)<BR/><BR/>You know, lemon grass is quite the ingredient. You will most certainly know if it is missing from a dish. I bought a tube of lemongrass paste from my local mega-mart and I use it when I cannot find fresh. <BR/><BR/>Also Sharon, you can freeze those expensive stalks and use them when needed. They keep for about 6 months in the freezer.MrOrphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12069259633169478114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975559754881811673.post-82460988964152016912008-05-04T06:20:00.000-07:002008-05-04T06:20:00.000-07:00This sounds very good - and healthy, too!
