Fried Tom Yum Spaghetti

I made this to bring to a foodies get together and it was really well received! Even my friend’s teenagers liked it and requested for her to replicate it. 🙂 My dear husband asked for it to be made again so he can indulge in it again. It’s really quite simple to cook this with very little prep needed. I was inspired by my Tom Yum Fried Rice and I’ve tasted the popular Tom Yum Bee Hoon.

If you can fry it with rice or bee hoon, why not fry it with spaghetti?! Can’t really go wrong with a fusion dish like that. I’ve had tom yum spaghetti but in a rather soupy wet version. A dry fried one made the dish a little more interesting. You can get bottled tom yum paste from most supermarkets or if you do not live in Asia, you will be able to get it in Asian supermarkets.
