Tom Yum Pasta

Everyday, Food - October 2, 2014

Tonight’s dinner was a tough decision. I feel like given this weather, i’ve been feeling more peckish in the day i constantly have the urge to look for something to eat. So for dinner tonight, i put together something from a bunch of random leftover ingredients in the fridge. Turned out so so yummy, i might make this more often when i’m running out of ingredients to cook.

Tom Yum Fusilli :

– Your choice of pasta 
– Capsicums / Bell peppers
– Fresh chives (Chopped)
– Egg
– Tom yum paste
– Onions (Diced)
– Garlic (Chopped)
– Salt , Pepper
– Teaspoon of lemon juice

1) Boil your pasta until it can be easily cut through with a fork. (Add salt to boiling water)

2) Heat up the pan and starting stir frying the onions and peppers. Peppers give a naturally sweet taste, so there is no need to add sugar to the dish.

3) Once onions have browned, add in about 2 tablespoons of tom yum paste and half a cup of water.

4) While the sauce is boiling away, throw in the pasta that has been drained from the pot and start stirring to avoid the pasta from sticking to the pan. Throw in the fresh chives while stirring.

5) Beat up the egg and pour in the egg mixture while continuing to stir.

6) Remove pan from heat and allow the remaining heat in the pan to cook the egg slowly.
This will ensure that the egg remains moist and not dry.

7) Plate the pasta and drizzle over teaspoon of lemon juice for the added kick. Pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Super simple and it’s a good alternative to the standard italian styled pastas.

I would have added diced pancetta and mushrooms if i had them in my fridge, but i didn’t. So this dish is great for vegetarians (remove egg from recipe).

Enjoy! & happy weekend ahead.
