Tom yum goong

Tom Yum Goong, a quintessential Thai dish, is a savory and tangy soup that perfectly balances the hot and sour flavors. This flavorful soup, infused with fragrant herbs and spices, is beloved for its comforting, rich broth and succulent shrimp.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp curry paste
30g
6 cups chicken gravy
1200g
12 oz shrimps
340g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
2 tbsp fish sauce
30g
1 cup scallions
50g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure that all ingredients are measured and ready to use. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done. Chop the scallions.
2. Heat the Broth: In a large pot, add the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
3. Add Curry Paste: Once the broth is boiling, add the Tom Yum curry paste. Stir well to ensure the paste is fully dissolved and well incorporated into the broth. Allow this to simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the pot. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque throughout. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
5. Seasoning: Add the lime juice and fish sauce to the pot. Stir to combine and taste the soup. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remember, fish sauce is quite salty, so you may not need to add much salt.
6. Add Scallions: Finally, add the chopped scallions to the pot. Stir and let cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve: Ladle the hot Tom Yum Goong soup into bowls. You can garnish with additional fresh scallions, cilantro, or a slice of lime, if desired.
8. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious, tangy, and spicy flavors of this classic Thai soup!

Tips:

- For an authentic taste, use fresh ingredients like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal.

- Adjust the level of spice by altering the amount of curry paste used.

- Ensure the shrimps are cooked just until they turn pink; overcooking can make them tough.

- Serve the soup hot with a side of jasmine rice to balance the flavors.
