I've tried other Tom Yum Kai recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The broth is so flavorful and the chicken is so tender.

This was my first time making Tom Yum Kai and it turned out great! I was worried it would be too spicy, but it was actually just right.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some vegetables, like broccoli and carrots, to make it a more complete meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Tom Yum Kai came out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This Tom Yum Kai recipe was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and tangy, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I used shrimp instead of chicken and it turned out great. Will definitely be making this again.
