Yam Kai (Thai Eggs) With Leftover Grains

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, stir together the lime juice, fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of the chile paste, and the cooked grain of your choice; set aside.

2. 2

   Put the eggs and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of chile paste in a small bowl and beat with a fork to combine; set aside.

3. 3

   In a large heavy saute pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, the white sections of the scallions, and the pork, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are very dark brown and shriveled, about 4 minutes. Add the scallion greens and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the egg mixture and cook without disturbing for 30 seconds, then turn and stir, breaking it up a little but keeping good-size pieces together, cooking until just set, about 45 seconds. Pour in the grain mixture and cook, turning with a spatula, until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve.
