Cơm Thịt Tôm is a beloved Vietnamese comfort dish that beautifully combines the succulent flavors of marinated shrimp and tender pork, served over a fragrant bed of jasmine rice. This dish is a staple in Vietnamese households, often enjoyed during family gatherings and festive occasions. The marinade infuses the proteins with a perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet notes, while the vibrant garnishes of cilantro and green onions add freshness and color. The squeeze of lime at the end takes the dish to another level, brightening the flavors and making each bite a delightful experience.

3 tablespoons
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Fish sauce
2 tablespoons
Garlic
3 cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions and set aside, keeping it warm.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and soy sauce to make the marinade.
  3. Add the shrimp and thinly sliced pork to the marinade, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. While the proteins are marinating, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp and pork to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  6. To serve, place a generous portion of jasmine rice on each plate, topped with the cooked shrimp and pork.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
