Food Invention

I invented a great recipe the other day, it doesn't have any particular measurements besides the rice, but it's easy to make. Here are the ingredients:

- Coconut Milk
- Soy Sauce
- Thai Tom Yum soup mix (if you don't have this you can just use ginger juice and some lemongrass)
- Rice
- Can of Straw Mushrooms, drained
-Broccoli, cut up into bite size pieces
- Water
- A few pieces of a white fish, like tilapia
- Spicy seasoning for the fish
- Olive Oil

First, start by getting the water boiling. I only made a few cups because this was a meal for 2, but you can make as little or as much as you like. This applies to all the amounts of every ingredient, as little or as much as you like. After the rice was half cooked, I put the coconut milk in a medium sized pot on medium heat and began to add the soy sauce. You want the color of the sauce (once mixed) to be a pale brown. Again, as much or as little as you like, but the soy sauce adds salt to the coconut milk, so if you like a lot or a little salt, it's your decision. Then I added a tablespoon of the Tum Yum Soup mix to this mix, which is like a paste. Once the mixture gets hot, the paste will dissolve and give the mixture a slight reddish tint. Then add the can of drained mushrooms and allow them to cook in the mixture, let the mixture heat to a boil. While this gets hotter, steam the broccoli in the microwave until tender. Lastly, prepare the fish with a dusting of spicy seasoning and place in a hot pan with a small amount of olive oil and cook until no longer translucent and browned. Now that everything is cooked and ready, prepare it in a bown by putting down rice, then the broccoli, then a piece of fish, then a heaping spoon of the sauce with mushrooms. Enjoy!
