Tom Yum Goong Recipe (Creamy Style!) ต้มยำกุ้งนำ้ข้น | Thai Recipes

Creamy Tom Yum Goong has become very popular in Thailand in the past several years. It's the richer, more voluptuous sister of the classic "clear broth" tom yum goong. In this video I also review basic techniques and ingredients essential in making the best tom yum possible!
When it comes to Thai soups, tom yum is indisputably the most popular, and many would argue most delicious soup there is. It happens to also be a very easy recipe you can whip up on a weeknight, and all the herbs I used, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, can call be frozen and you can quickly throw them in directly from the freezer!
Also check out my other tom yum recipes, I have recipes for tom yum chicken, tom yum fish and also vegetarian/vegan tom yum!

My wife loves Thai food, followed your recipe, luckily I have a Thai store near me so could get everything except the evaporated milk so settled with coconut milk and just added a bit more. She LOVED it! Also that deveining technique for the shrimp… straight genius. Thank you!

[@jihyungpark535]

Evaporated milk is common at regular grocery stores :)

I've been following you quite some time now n I've tried a lot of your recipes and none of them disappoint me. You have proved Thai food is not hard to make, but getting ingredients part,.... That's hard.

[@vbuen323]

Depending where you live try searching for an Asian market. I live in SoCal so there’s one close by and has everything I need.

[@stevenkuoch3197]

[@Carlois50]

Also you can order all these, believe it or not, on Amazon!

[@mariaannainditahernawati7132]

even lemongrass?

[@Sonicron86]

I made this yesterday, and I was blown away. (Literally. I used 3 chilis, and oh dear, was that ever too much.) Absolutely incredible flavor, and I loved every spoonful, despite sweating and crying from the spicyness. I'll try making proper shrimp stock some time, but even with regular chicken stock as a base this is a fantastic recipe! Thank you!

[@mirrortoyourweakness9769]

I was lucky to grow up in LA where we have an amazing, authentic Thai town. I can't count how may times I've ordered this soup after a night on the town. Hot, spicy soup with a protein and a variety of healthy herbs. The Best.

[@digbick.4340]

Coconut milk is the best part in the tom yup soup. It gives a nice creamy texture and an amazing kick to it.

I did it yesterday, with galangal and all exact ingredients but! instead of milk, I put almond milk. the color was a bit different, but the taste amazing. thank you mademoiselle!

[@mugglepotato]

I just made this for lunch and I used coconut milk and added some spinach with the shrimp and mushrooms and extra chillies. I was blown away. It’s not hard to make and tastes amazing! I ate it with rice and a Thai style omelette. Pailin’s recipe is excellent, I highly recommend it ❤

[@Sarahscg5]

To anyone looking for the herb, sawtooth coriander, she added in you can also find in in more than just Asian markets. It's also called culantro, "shado beni", and long coriander.

[@bobbysmith8095]

Honestly there no point in making a dish if you are missing most of the main ingredients. I never get why people ask to sub like almost everything. I mean it suck you can’t make it but better then making a really weird dish that wasn’t what you want in the first place. I hardly cook Italian food cuz it hard to find the fresh herb/spice in my area.

[@juanitacanon3120]

@@bobbysmith8095 what kind of Italian food ? Because a lote of pasta recipes as not that hard to replicate and don’t need that many herbs

Tom Yum soup has both thick and clear water. If you want clear water, don't add coconut milk or milk and ready-made chili paste.......kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6m5c2mFfbtphZY

[@bobbysmith8095]

@@juanitacanon3120 Most of them required parsley, bayleaf, parmesan cheese, rosemary, oregano, and sometime sage . I can't find fresh bayleaf anywhere near me, cheese are always the fake kind, and most spices and herb are always dry. Some recipe want them fresh so I just give up. I make OK Italian with dry herb and what I can get but I know it nowhere near the real thing and doesn't taste that good.

[@onlyqualitycounts9365]

Well, I finally got around to making this. It was the best Tom Yum Goong that I’ve had since I’ve been back from Thailand. More authentic than any of the restaurants. I’ve eaten at here in Los Angeles. Thank you for making the effort to put out this video. It’s much appreciated! This is definitely a repeat recipe.

You take the mystery out of Thai cooking. I'm also fortunate to live where I can buy all the ingredients needed for your recipes. I love soups of all kinds and this will be added to my recipe book. Also thanks for showing how to take the vein out of the shrimp.

I learned how to make this soup in a tiny Thai village near Cambodia, I knew got it right when everyone in the village loved it, then they couldn’t believe that a western guy like me had cooked local Thai food that was so good, my girlfriend had to confirm that I made it by myself while she slept, I just watched everything she did and slowly took part with prep. Within a week I was making this and the sweet and sour both with chicken or prawn, our house was full whenever the Falang was in the kitchen, happy days 🙏🏼

Every training I had in Thailand, its always part of daily meal. I am always fascinated the way they prepared and cooked food. Today I cook the same way and my family loved it so much. :-)

I made Tom yum Gai and used evaporated milk. The first time (tester) went well. The second time I made the soup for work event, when I added the evaporated milk, everything looked fine. When I added the lime juice.....WT..the evaporated milk curded. I knew I did something wrong. I remembered you mentioned something about being careful when adding the evaporated milk. Went back to watch your video, I added the lime juice while it was semi boiling. Big mistake. Didn’t want to remake another batch. I added coconut milk and got the creamy look back but the curded Evaporated milk was still there. I decided to use a strainer to strain the soup. It took out a lot of the curded milk. My Tom yum gai soup was saved.
