Tom Yum Thai Hot And Sour Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium-sized soup pot, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken and/or tofu, onion (not the green onions), half each of the ginger and lemongrass until the chicken is only a little bit pink and the onion translucent.
• Add the stock, fish sauce, remaining ginger and lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and (optional) serrano chilies. Simmer 10 - 15 minute covered on medium-low heat.
• Add the sugar, Nam Prik Pao, and sliced tomatoes. Simmer an additional 2 minute.
• Turn heat fully to low and add the lime juice to taste. Add half of the diced cilantro and the green onions, then let simmer on low for another few minutes.
• Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve with additional lime juice.

Steps:

• Soak the wood ears in warm water for 20-30 minutes until they swell up and become soft.
• Rinse under cold water, and cut into thin ribons, discarding any hard centers; set aside.
• Slice tofu into long thin strips; set aside.
• Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a soup pot; add the soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, sugar, vinegar, sambal oelek, and salt and stir to blend.
• Lower heat to medium and cook for several minutes.
• Add the bamboo shoots and cook for a minute before adding the wood ears, the tofu, and the sesame oil.
• Cook the soup for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch which should be dissolved in the 1 tablespoonful of water.
• Beat the egg yolks lightly and slide into the soup; turn off the heat and DO NOT STIR.
• The egg will cook into the hot soup and stay in pieces (if you stir it will shrivel).
• Pour soup into serving bowls and garnish with strips of red pepper and cilantro leaves.

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 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.
