Tom Yum Noodle Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the stock to the boil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and chiles. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to let the spices infuse the broth.
• Uncover and add the fish sauce, sugar, and mushrooms. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss in the shrimp and cook for about 8 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice, green onions, and cilantro. Taste for salt and spices; you should have an equal balance of spicy, salty, and sour. It's a good idea to tell your guest's that the lemongrass and lime leaves are for flavor only and should be avoided when eating the soup.

Steps:

• In medium saucepan, heat vegetable broth to a simmer with lemongrass and lime leaves if desired.
• In small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring often, about 30 seconds.
• When broth has simmered for 5 minutes, remove lemongrass and lime leaves and discard.
• Add cooked garlic and ginger to broth.
• Return broth to a boil, and stir in chile paste and mushrooms.
• Cook until mushrooms have wilted, about 30 seconds, then stir in lime juice and fish sauce.
• Remove from heat, and ladle soup into small bowls along with your favorite rice noodles.
• Top each bowl with chopped tomatoes, cilantro and a pinch of hot green chiles if you want it really really spicy.
• Alternatively, tomatoes and chiles can be mixed together and placed in small serving bowl for people to help themselves (this way people can make it as spicy as they want).
• For Vegetarian/Vegan omit the fish sauce and use the soy.

Steps:

• Set water to boil in a pot, add water and mix in tom yum soup.(NOTE:Unless the tom yum paste has instructions, follow as above to prepare the tom yum soup base.).
• Put garlic, celery, tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken and prawns inside the pot. Leave to boil.

• Garnish with coriander and serve.

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:

• Bring broth to a boil in a large pot.
• Remove the outermost leaf from each stalk of lemongrass. Pound stalks to release flavor; cut into 1-inch lengths. Add the lemongrass, Thai chiles, garlic, lime leaves, and galangal to the broth. Cover and boil for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat and add shrimp, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes to the broth. Boil for 3 minutes. Add fish sauce and sugar; cook for 2 minutes more and remove from heat. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.

Steps:

• Soak the vermicelli in room temperature water for 10 minutes, until they have softened. (Disregard package instructions.) Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, sambal oelek and garlic. Set aside.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the lemongrass, ginger, makrut lime leaves and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes. Discard the lemongrass stalks. Add the tomatoes and tofu, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the tofu is warm and the tomatoes have softened.
• Add the sambal oelek mixture, salt and drained vermicelli to the soup, stirring gently to break the tofu into bite-size pieces. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the noodles are transparent. Turn off the heat, and stir in the evaporated milk, if using.
• Divide the soup into four bowls, top with scallions and cilantro leaves, and serve immediately.
