Step 1

In a wok or a large frying pan, add just enough oil to coat the bottom and cook off all the shrimp over medium high heat. Remove and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, over medium heat, add chopped garlic and cook for a few minutes just until it starts to turn golden.

Step 3

Add salted egg yolks and stir until the yolks are partially dissolved but still with lots of chunks. Deglaze with a splash of water as needed to keep the pan moist.

Step 4

Add long beans, bell pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, Thai chili paste, and sugar. Toss together until the chili paste is well mixed, adding water a little at a time as needed if it becomes too dry.

Step 5

Add the rice and toss until the rice is evenly coated in sauce.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and toss in tomatoes and green onions.

Step 7

Plate the rice and place the shrimp on top. Serve with cucumber slices and a lime wedge.
