Khmer Fried Rice with Smoked Tofu
This recipe from Cambodia is a simple staple food and you can use many leftovers to prepare a completely new dish. The leftover rice in combination with smoked tofu and fresh veggies makes this dish absolutely mouthwatering. For our meal we just used peas and spring onions. But you also can use fresh vegetables like zucchini, green beans, carrots or broccoli. Fact is that this common Khmer dish is a super fast cooked midweek meal. It is prepared in less than 15 minutes.
