Arayas Place Tom Yum Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Bring about 2 liters of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
• Pour another 2 liters of water into a separate pot and bring to a boil (for flash steaming the seafood).
• While waiting for the water to boil, chop up the galangal, lemongrass, tomato, cilantro, scallops, shrimp, squid, snapper and mussels.
• Once the water in the first pot comes to boil, add the lime leaves, mushrooms, chiles, galangal and lemongrass and stir. Immediately after, add the fish sauce, lime juice, prik pao and sugar. Let the broth simmer.
• Flash-steam the seafood in the other pot for approximately 1 minute. Add the seafood to the main pot, stir and boil for about 5 minutes.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and top with some tomato and cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a saucepan and add your flavors 1 by 1: begin with the galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and lemongrass. Add the shallots, chili paste, fish sauce and lime juice. Then add the chopped tomatoes, Thai chilies and straw mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shrimp. When they turn completely pink, the soup is ready. Garnish with cilantro and spring onions and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine chicken stock, tom yum paste, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass, lime juice and fish sauce. Add chili and sugar, and stir.
• Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Add mushrooms, and simmer 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp and scallions, and simmer until shrimp is barely opaque, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• To serve, divide soup between two bowls. Garnish each with 1 tablespoon cilantro, and serve.
