You missed a lot! Tom Yum and Solyanka are two best soups in the world.

[@polkritwutiwiwattananon6053]

It's pretty much different from Thai recipe. - while using the spoon to remove the floating scum, beware of taking out the red floating oil!! That's prawn fat which is the key of this tasty soup that we need to leave it in the pot. - unsweetened condensed milk is more recommended that normal whole milk. Anyway, it should be added at the end just like lime juice to prevent curd. - please add shallot along with mushroom. And add culantro at the end. culantro is a must. Cilantro or corriandar depends on your favour. - Do Not cut the prawn in half!!

[@binocular5950]

Red floating oil is also from the chilli paste in the soup.

[@shafikamal]

Hi from Russia! I got my wok in Thailand and from recently I entered you School of Wok :) For now I've already cooked black pepper beef (yammy!) and some chicken (I forgot the recipe name) - also yammy. As for Tom Yum - I cooke it often and just wanted to see your way of cooking it. Pretty the same, I do everything right. Thank you, teacher! :)

Thank you so much for the recipe! I had this soup at a vegan Thai restaurant, I was curious about the healing properties of lemon grass. I wanted to make the soup myself because of that and found your recipe. The restaurant used coconut milk instead of the evaporated milk. It was really delish. Thanks! 😊

[@munyamubaiwa4313]

I got a small root from a friend a year ago. Put in a pot now I have loads. I infuse my black tea with lemongrass and rosemary. I feel invigorated and I seem to be warding off haphazard flues. I dont even take milk tea anymore. Just with lemongrass, Rosemary, oregano or mint. I bring fresh herbs to he office and everyone is loving them.

Even though I live in Thailand have never attempted Tom Yum Coong before but definitely will now. Even here though shelled fresh Coong getting expensive so normally I cook with de-shelled frozen prawns for stir fry etc. However its essential for this dish I think to achieve that deep flavour in the stock so will get to the market and try this sometime soon. Thanks for a great upload.

[@CowTaurog]

Just bought a jar of tom yum paste yesterday, good timing. Shrimpies, mushrooms, keep the gross milk in the cow (or use the coconut stuff if you must), throw some udon noodles in there, and I guess whatever veg I feel like. Without the paste it would easily cost me an extra $30 usd to make, maybe more. But at least now I know I was right about just adding mushrooms, shromps, and noodles.

[@westernrider100]

Masei is good brand of paste, they do not use MSG in their paste and it is lower salt than other Tom Yum pastes. My suggestion - make a good flavorful stock first ginger, lemon grass, fish sauce, lime juice, chili's to taste .... then add the paste to bring it up to strength. As the paste has oil, this way you'll cut down on some of that in the soup. Also, try using Tom Yum paste in other recipes like hash brown potatoes or in some stir frys with fish sauce, and oyster sauce.... There are recipes on line for Tom Yum spaghetti ..... Tom Yum seafood salds and more .......

[@benjaratjaneprakobkit3246]

If you want a authentic Thai Tom yum, don’t add ginger. Actually, adding a bit of ginger is ok to add some fizziness, but this vid, I think he put too much compare to galangal. I think the soup had pretty mild taste for Thais, so I would suggest to double the seasonings (fish sauce, lime juice, chilies). Overall, the dish looks great 👍

[@lixsajoe]

Mine is a bit different. I add coconut milk, and sugar for that sweet and sour taste. Also tomatoes give it some nice coloring

[@Hadassah7000]

Yeah i was surprised he put evaporated regular milk in. I would have thought coconut milk. I think the coconut would be easier to digest too, atleast for me, with all that spicy going on

[@lixsajoe]

@@Hadassah7000 I agree

I was lucky to live in southern California where i had a plethora of delicious Thai restaurants to choose from.. i recently moved to brazil and now its impossible to find authentic Thai and its hard to find the ingredients. I ordered Thai curry paste online, fish sauce, sambal oelek, but sadly fresh Kaffir lime, galangal, and lemongrass are nowhere to be found where i am, ill have to find the dry versions online when they come back in stock. At least i have fresh ginger D: hahaha

[@stever456]

Well, just did this one today and well the result is outstanding! Its so tasty its unreal. The only 1 thing i might try and alter for ease is to use more fish sauce instead of frying the prawn heads and leaving them in, then i can use raw shelled prawns instead as it took me ages to prepare them. Anyway, as usual thanks so much Jeremy its made my wifes day one of her favourite foods is Tom Yum soup and we think this is the best we have ever had.

[@polkritwutiwiwattananon2652]

in TH, we put in whole prawn with shell and head it. The key of this yummy soup which differentiate from chicken tom yum is.... the prawn fat inside the prawn's head. Once you see it melt and floating, please don't take it off. (but take only the scum off)

[@stever456]

@@polkritwutiwiwattananon2652 Ive since used shrimp paste in lieu of the shells, 3 people i know said it was as good as some of the best food that had in Thailand.

Is this similar to Tom Kah soup? I recently went to a Thai in Thirsk, where they had something very similar but with coconut milk. The Tom yum they served was clear, which my other half had. I wasn’t over keen on the hot and sour of the Tom Yum but the one I had was delicious. I got some Tom Yum paste from my local Chinese emporium, and the recipe on that suggests coconut milk for a creamy version. I was wanting to recreate what I had in thirsk, would that work?

[@SchoolofWok]

They are pretty similar, give this a go!

[@polkritwutiwiwattananon6053]

Tom kha... kha(low tone) means galangal. So tom kha has got more portion of galangal than tomyum. And it's a must that tomkha use "coconut milk". Tom yum can also use coconut milk buts it not popular because too strong coconut scent. Tomyum's soup can be both clear or milky depends on your favour. But tomkha can be only coconut mill creamy only. No clear tomkha in TH.

[@66meikou]

I love Tom Yum. I'd eat it everyday if I could. I like the tutorial. I always thought Tom Yum was a clear broth. Isn't it Tom Kha if you add milk?
