Thai Tom Yum Gong Soup
Every time I go to a Thai restaurant, I must order this soup, the taste is delicious and fresh, I don’t get used to it when I first take the first bite, I always feel a strange taste, but when I walk out of the restaurant, I always think inexplicably, the sourness of lemon, the spiciness of millet pepper, and the aroma of coconut milk always come to mind…… People can’t help but miss it. I tried it at home today, and it was quite successful, and it was also the second Thai dish I would make to commemorate it…… (The first dish was pineapple rice a few days ago) Tom Yum Soup, as Thailand’s “national soup”, is the most popular and famous dish. At the same time, it is ranked among the top ten famous soups in the world. The so-called Tom Yum Gong is the transliteration of the Thai word Tom-Yum-Kung. In Thai, “Tom Yin” means sour and spicy, and “Gong” refers to shrimp, which together is hot and sour shrimp soup.
The practice of Thai tom yum soup
Step 1
All ingredients. Mushrooms are straw mushrooms (also called mushrooms), I didn’t buy them in the market, so I used shiitake mushrooms at home instead. Small greens can also be left out, and those who like to eat meat can add fattened beef slices.
Step 2
All ingredients. These things are not easy to buy in the market, so they are bought online. There is a special winter yin seasoning package. Lemon juice can be replaced with lime. Coconut milk is relatively concentrated, and coconut milk drinks on the market cannot make an authentic taste.
Step 3
I use broth, if there is no broth, add galangal, lemon leaves, lemongrass, millet pepper, tomatoes, and boil the sauce, and the water does not affect the taste, and there is no oil.
Step 4
After boiling the pot, cook for a while, then add mushrooms, onions, shrimp, clams, and greens in turn, and boil again. The ingredients are very easy to cook, do not cook them too old.
Step 5
After the ingredients are cooked, pour in fish sauce, red oil shrimp paste, lemon juice, coconut milk, and turn off the heat when boiling again. Because sauces, fish sauce, and shrimp paste all have a salty taste, there is no need to add salt and other seasonings again.
Step 6
This amount of ingredients is enough for 2 people. If there are many people, increase the proportion of ingredients and ingredients proportionally. Serving, eating! The taste of coconut milk and lemon blends perfectly!
