Ingredients
- 200 g Rice, white, long-grain, cooked
- 80 g Potatoes, raw
- 60 g Tomatoes, raw
- 15 g Tamarind pulp
- 5 g Vinegar, white
- 25 g Shallots, raw
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 6 g Fish sauce
- 2 g Chili powder
- 12 g Vegetable oil

Method
- Boil the potato in salted water for about 15 minutes until tender, then drain, cool slightly and dice.
- Fry the sliced shallots and garlic in the oil over medium heat until golden and crisp, then lift out and set aside, keeping the flavoured oil.
- Dissolve the tamarind pulp in a splash of warm water and mix with the vinegar to make a sour liquid; this stands in for the traditional fermented rice-soaking liquid (htamin jin ye).
- In a large bowl, mix the rice with the tamarind liquid, fish sauce, chili powder and salt until the rice is evenly moistened and seasoned.
- Fold in the diced potato and chopped tomato, then top with the fried shallots, garlic, the flavoured oil and scallion before serving at room temperature.
