When you imagined about Thailand, You should be think of the tradition, culture, especially food. Thai food was known in many countries because each dish worked with much care and in great details. One of favorite and popular dish is Tom-Yum-Koong. Although it’s complicated in details but you can do it by your own. This is my mom's recipe and method of making Tom Yum Koong and it is the best! This is definitely a recipe that you can only balance by taste -- tom yum goong should never be bland, but hot and sour.
For 2 servings,4 cups of soup stock, 1 cup shrimp, 5 mushrooms, 1-2 limes, 1 lemon grass, 3 kaffir lime leaves, 2 tablespoon fish sauce, 5 sprigs cilantro, 3 chili peppers.
Started boiling the water in 2 quart pot. Slice the lemon grass in a pieces,1 inch long. Stem the kiffir lime leaves and added to the bowl. Clean and halve the mushrooms and add them to the pot. Flavoring with fish sauce and a little sugar. Add the shrimps and wait for a second, turn off the heat immediately. Shrimp will ripe very quickly and then, blend with chili peppers and limes. Scoop them in serving bowl and decorated with cilantros.
Be careful, chili pepper can be hot, take a small sip at a time. If it taste is bland, you can add more fish sauce and lime more or you can cut the chili pepper off if you don’t like hot.
As you see, Thai food is so easy to cook and I hope u will enjoy the fantastic taste by your own…!!
