Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

For the tom yum paste:

In a bowl, soften tamarind paste and dried shiitake mushroom in 1 cup of boiling water. Wait 5-10 minutes and remove the reconstituted shiitake and reserve for blending. DO NOT DISCARD THE WATER. Mash the tamarind into the water to release the juice from the tamarind pulp. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and discard the solids. Reserve the liquid (it will have the texture of applesauce)
In a high speed blender, combine the finely chopped lemongrass, shallots, garlic, sliced galangal, kaffir lime leaves, tamarind/mushroom liquid, Thai chilis, reconstituted shiitake, vegetable oil, coconut sugar and mushroom broth powder (or replace with kosher salt if you don’t have mushroom both powder).
Blend until everything is evenly blended. Transfer to a clean jar and set aside.

For the stir fried rice:

In a large wok/skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium for 1-2 minutes, then add shallots and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and fry until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
Add 1/3 cup tom yum paste and stir to cook the spices, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped vegan shrimp and stir to cook, about 2-3 minutes. Add the puffy fried tofu and heat through.
Add the snap peas, pineapple, and tomato and stir to coat again, cooking until snap peas are bright green and tender-crisp (about 2-3 minutes). Add 1 tbsp mushroom broth powder and stir to cook. (You can substitute concentrated bouillon or salt, but mushroom broth powder adds a lot of flavour).
Add the cooked USA-grown long grain white rice and add tamari, stirring well to coat the rice in seasoning and stir in the vegetables. Taste and add more tamari or tom yum paste if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
