HOT AND SOUR SOUP WITH SHRIMP



Hot and Sour Soup with Shrimp image

Hot and Sour Soup with Shrimp (tom yum goong, ?????????) is probably the most famous Thai dish, both inside and outside of Thailand. It's eaten very often here, usually in a type of hot pot with fire underneath. There are hundreds of variations of tom yum, and this recipe includes the two most common versions of Tom Yum Goong.

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lemongrass stalks, cut into 1″ pieces and smashed a bit (about 1/3 cup)
6 lime leaves (1 tablespoon), torn with center vein removed
2 tablespoons galangal sliced thin
1 tablespoon coriander roots, about 2 roots
2 tablesoons shallots, whole with skin removed (1-2 shallots)
1 cup tomato (about 1 medium tomato), sliced into 6-8 pieces lengthwise
2 cups broth (pork, chicken)
1/2 cup straw mushrooms, ends removed and halved
2 tablespoons (about 7) red medium-sized thai chilies, smashed
4 or 5 medium-sized saltwater shrimp, whole and uncleaned, the fresher the better
pinch salt
1 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons :roasted chili paste:
1 tablespoon lime juice (or more to taste)
3 tablespoons milk (from a cow not a coconut). *optional
3 small dried chilies, roasted *optional - add if adding milk
1 tablespoon coriander chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare all the ingredients. Remove the outer layer of the lemongrass stalks and cut off the end. Cut into 1-2″ pieces and smash with the side of a heavy knife to release flavor. Tear the center vein off the lime leaves. Slice your galangal into thin slices. Cut the tomato into 6 pieces lengthwise. Peel the skin off the shallots and smash lightly. Clean your coriander roots well. Smash the fresh chilies with the back of a heavy knife, or in a mortar and pestle. If using fresh Thai straw mushrooms, slice the bottoms off and cut in 1/2 lengthwise. If making the version with milk: roast the dried chilies until fragrant and browned in a dry wok on medium heat (see note). Clean the shrimp by peeling off the backs and snapping off the top part of the heads, but leave the fat on at the base of the head (the reddish brown goop). This is very important, as that fat imparts a signature flavor into Tom Yum Goong. Don't discard it. Then, peel out the legs + intestine underneath, but leave the tails on. Set aside. Boil the broth on high until it comes to a rapid boil. (see note about broth below). Add the lime leaves, lemongrass, coriander root, galangal, shallot(s) and tomato. Boil for 4-5 minutes until the broth tastes herbal. if you're using fresh ingredients, 4-5 minutes should be enough. In a separate pan, boil the mushrooms in plain water. After you've boiled 4-5 minutes, add a pinch of salt and the shrimp. Strain the cooked mushrooms and add them to the soup as well. Cook until shrimp turn pink, about a minute. Add the fish sauce and remove from heat. You will now season the soup. Add lime juice, chili paste, smashed fresh chilies. Taste the soup. Is it sour? Is it salty? If no, add a bit more, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. If making the version with milk: Add the milk and dried chilies. If doing this step you'll need to add a bit more lime juice and fish sauce as the milk tames it down a bit. Add about a teaspoon more of each. Add cilantro and serve. This soup is best served really hot!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 dried de arbol chiles
4 cups Su Mei's Chicken Stock
1 half-inch piece galangal or 1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced and lightly crushed
3 stalks lemongrass, green parts and hard outer layers removed, sliced in half lengthwise, and lightly bruised
3 cilantro roots or 10 stems, rinsed well
6 kaffir-lime leaves, torn, or zest of 1 lime, removed with a peeler in strips and julienned
5 to 6 fresh bird or serrano chiles, lightly crushed, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
2 tablespoons nam pla
1 fifteen-ounce can straw mushrooms, rinsed and patted dry, or 1 cup fresh oyster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 tablespoon Roasted Chiles in Oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel and devein shrimp, reserving 10 shells. Rinse shrimp, pat dry, and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat oil over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add dried chiles and reserved shrimp shells, and cook, stirring, until chiles turn black and shells turn pink, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chiles and shells to a square of cheesecloth. Tie securely with kitchen twine, and return to saucepan.
  • Add stock, and bring to a boil. Add galangal, lemongrass, cilantro roots or stems, kaffir-lime leaves, and fresh chiles. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and let spices infuse the stock for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in salt and fish sauce. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Add mushrooms, raise heat to high, and boil for 10 minutes.
  • Remove cheesecloth pouch, lemongrass, and kaffir-lime leaves; discard. Add shrimp, and cook just until pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add roasted chiles in oil. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice. Taste again; there should be an equal balance of spicy, salty, and sour flavors. Garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster. Chop your vegetables, mince your garlic and ginger, and measure out your spices before you start cooking.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give you plenty of room to cook the shrimp and vegetables without overcrowding them.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much shrimp or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Add the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Bring the broth to a boil before adding the shrimp: This will help to cook the shrimp quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Add the noodles at the end of the cooking process: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add more fish sauce, lime juice, or Sriracha until the soup reaches your desired flavor.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This hot and sour shrimp soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of shrimp, vegetables, and Thai herbs creates a flavorful and aromatic soup that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
