Hi Guys,

I got a jar of tom yum paste and was wondering how best to go about making a soup..or something diff?

Im not a big fan of coconut milk so any clear soups ideas would be great

Thanks

this is one of my favorites as it is very addictive. ive made it hundreds of times. you wont be long getting through that jar of paste

for 2 portions

500ml chicken stock or fish stock
1tsp of tom yam paste(chilli in oil)
2 kafir lime leaves finely chopped
1 stalk of lemon grass
1 green chilli finely sliced
2tsp palm sugar
6 mushrooms sliced
10 king prawns cut to bight size
1.5tbs fish sauce
lime juice, tsp at a time to taste

the balance of flavours is very delicate so carefull with the fish sauce and particularly the lime juice. over time u will notice you have your own preference for how much sugar to lime to fish sauce for your own taste.
personally i like to add a little coconut milk and vermacelli noodles are a good addition.
