How To Make Tom Yum

Wash the prawns and shell them without removing the tails. Bring stock broth to a boil. Add lemongrass, galangal, fresh chile, and lime leaves. Bring back to a boil then add mushrooms, fish sauce, prik pao and lime juice. Add prawns. As soon as prawns turn pink (cooked through) serve garnished with cilantro.

A popular variation is to serve tom yum "sai nam kon" which means a spoonful of coconut milk or, many street vendors will add a spoon of evaporated milk. We like tom yum nam kon and enjoy adding tablespoon of our Tom Kha to it.

Note that a popular way to make this dish is with a ready-made tom yum paste or tom yum cubes. ImportFood.com has some options for you. Our Instant Tom Yum Paste, is imported from Thailand and a pretty good product for making tom yum but you'll need to adjust some flavors. Add two tablespoons Tom Yum Paste to three cups boiling water, add 1.5 teaspoons salt, add mushrooms and prawns, add 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, add 5-7 Thai chile peppers and onions, and serve garnished with cilantro.

An alternative to Tom Yum Paste is our Tom Yum Cubes or Tom Yum Spice Mix which you can use to make the above soup. These alternatives also add fragrant, delicious Tom Yum flavor to just about any kind of noodles, and both are quite popular in creating "fusion" type Pan-Asian foods blending Thai and western foods.
