Provided by Aariq Skought

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 16m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups vegetable broth
2 stalks lemongrass, peeled and cut into 4 inch pieces
3 fresh kaffir lime leaves (optional)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon peeled minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons roasted chili paste
1 1/2 cups chopped oyster mushrooms or 1 1/2 cups white mushrooms
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce or 2 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
2 -3 small hot green chili peppers, seeded and halved (optional)
rice noodles

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, heat vegetable broth to a simmer with lemongrass and lime leaves if desired.
  • In small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring often, about 30 seconds.
  • When broth has simmered for 5 minutes, remove lemongrass and lime leaves and discard.
  • Add cooked garlic and ginger to broth.
  • Return broth to a boil, and stir in chile paste and mushrooms.
  • Cook until mushrooms have wilted, about 30 seconds, then stir in lime juice and fish sauce.
  • Remove from heat, and ladle soup into small bowls along with your favorite rice noodles.
  • Top each bowl with chopped tomatoes, cilantro and a pinch of hot green chiles if you want it really really spicy.
  • Alternatively, tomatoes and chiles can be mixed together and placed in small serving bowl for people to help themselves (this way people can make it as spicy as they want).
  • For Vegetarian/Vegan omit the fish sauce and use the soy.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: Fresh shrimp, lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves are essential for an authentic Tom Yum soup. Using fresh ingredients will bring out the best flavors and aromas of the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the shrimp, be sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and could make the soup cloudy.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 15 minutes: Simmering the soup for at least 15 minutes will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Be sure to keep an eye on the soup and adjust the heat as needed to prevent it from boiling.
  • Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more lime juice, fish sauce, or chili paste to achieve the desired flavor balance.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: When serving, garnish the soup with fresh cilantro, basil, and/or mint. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Tom Yum soup is a delicious and flavorful Thai soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste. With its spicy, sour, and savory flavors, Tom Yum soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
