Tom yum kung is a simple and popular Thai hot and sour soup, which is familiar to many from Thai restaurant menus. It is sometimes spelled as tom yum koong or tom yum goong. To make this Thai dish, the basic ingredient include peeled and deveined shrimp, and straw mushrooms.
But like other Asian dishes, a lot of ingredients are needed to make the seasonings, such as Thai chile peppers, chopped scallions,limes juice, chopped cilantro, water, fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, some white part of stalk of lemongrass, galangal, crushed garlic, salt and pepper.
The basic steps to prepare the dish is as following.
First of all, bring the water or stock, fish sauce, lime leaves, lemongrass, galangal, garlic, salt and pepper to a boil in a large pot over medium flame. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, remove it from heat and set aside for another 10 minutes to steep. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve and discard solids.
Secondly, return the stock to a simmer over medium-low heat. And add the shrimp, scallions and mushrooms and continue to simmer over medium-low heat until shrimp is cooked through for 5 to 6 minutes.
Last but not least, stir in the lime juice, cilantro and chilies, adjust seasoning before serving.
An advantage of this dish is, depending on personal favorite, the method of cooking could be developed into many variations. You could substitute coconut milk for half or all the water or stock to make Tom Kha Kung and you could substitute thinly sliced chicken for the shrimp to make Tom Yum Gai. Or you could eliminate the shrimp and double the amount of mushrooms to make Tom Yum Hed, which is for vegetarians.
