Instructions:

i.  Sauce

1. In a mortar and pestle, pound together lemongrass, galangal, kaffir, lime leaves and Thai chillies until fine.
2. Stir all remaining sauce ingredients. Alternatively, add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

ii. Thai-style fried egg

1. Add about 1cm vegetable oil into a wok or a small frying pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Crack the eggs into the oil, then lower the heat to medium.
2. Fry the egg for about 1 minute 30 seconds or until the edges, turn brown. Then, gently nudge it off with a thin spatula and leave aside.

iii. Fried rice

1. In a wok or a large saute pan, add just enough vegetable oil and heat over medium-high until hot.
2. Add the shrimp and squids and sear until browned on both sides. Then, remove them from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add a little more oil if required, then add onions and saute until translucent. Then, add the Chinese broccoli and toss briefly until the leaves turn bright green.
4. Add the rice and toss until most lumps are broken up. Pour the sauce over rice and toss until all grains are coated evenly in the sauce, and the rice is dry.
5. Add the tomato and cooked shrimps and squids, toss briefly just to heat them up. Remove from the heat and stir in green onions.
6. Lastly, plate the fried rice, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and top it off with the fried egg.
