Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup (Tom Yam Kung)


Tom Yam Kung is the most famous of all Thai soups with many herbs (I'm very love in it!!!). It's hot and sour soup with shrim. In my opinion, it's very easy to cook and you can found many Thai herbs here. Let's go...

Ingredients
- 200 g shrim or prawns
- 3-4 cups chicken stock
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon glass, thinly sliced
- 5-7 sliced galangals
- 1/2 cup straw mushroom, halved or whole
- 3-4 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
- 4-5 crushed fresh Thai Chili Peppers (depends on your taste)
- 7-8 coriander leaves (for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons roasted chili in oil

Cooking Instructions
Rinse the prawns and shell and de-vein them without removing the tails.

In a boiling pot with chicken stock, add the garlic, lemon grass, galangals, kaffir lime leaves, and fish sauce to the stock, then the mushrooms and chili peppers. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes.

Then, add the shrimp to the soup, and reheat to boiling. When the shrimp are cooked, place the lime juice and roasted chili in oil in a serving bowl. Pour the soup into the bowl, stir.

Garnish with the coriander leaves, and serve.
