Thai Prawn Soup with Lemongrass, 'Tom Yum Goong'
Tom Yum is both hot and sour, and it's one of the main signature dishes that defines Thai flavor. We've
perfected this recipe and assure you it tastes great (see picture below).

Chef Prepares Tom Yum.
Ingredients
20 prawns (shrimp), medium size
45 cups chicken broth/soup stock
2 stalks fresh lemongrass, lightly pounded, cut into 1 inch long segments
4 table spoons fish sauce
1/3 cup sliced fresh galangal
1/2 cup straw mushroom or local fresh mushrooms, halved or whole
68 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
4 tablespoons lime juice
6 crushed fresh Thai chile peppers (or more to suit your taste)
2 tablespoons "prik pao" roasted chile in oil
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Method
Wash the prawns and shell them without removing the tails. Bring chicken broth to a boil. Add lemongrass,
galangal and lime leaves. Bring back to a boil then add mushrooms, fish sauce, prik pao and lime juice.
Add prawns and fresh chile peppers. As soon as prawns turn pink (cooked through) serve garnished with
cilantro.
Note that a rather simple and effective way to make this dish is with a readymade tom yum paste or tom
yum cubes. ImportFood.com has some options for you. We recommend you order our Instant Tom Yum
Paste, imported from Thailand and a very good quality product. Add two tablespoons Tom Yum Paste to
three cups boiling water, add 1.5 teaspoons salt, add mushrooms and prawns, add 1 tablespoon fresh lime
juice, add 57 Thai chile peppers and onions, and serve garnished with cilantro.
An alternative to Tom Yum Paste is our Tom Yum Cubes or Tom Yum Spice Mix which you can use to
make the above soup. These alternatives also add fragrant, delicious Tom Yum flavor to just about any
kind of noodles, and both are quite popular in creating "fusion" type PanAsian foods blending Thai and
western foods.
Serve Tom Yum in Style. "Hot Pot" bowl with lid.
Traditional method of serving all kinds of Thai soups, in
particular Tom Yum and Tom Kha. Many Thai
restaurants use this pot with a bit of sterno fuel in the
bottom tray, as shown below, or use a small tea lite
candle at the base to keep the soup hot. Campers have
reported that this is a great little pot because it allows
easy heating of food at the campground. It's like a little
stove.
This is a good size, 24 cm in diameter (10 inches),
capacity of 8 cups. Good for restaurant or home use.
Made of relatively thick, sturdy, buffed, shiny
aluminum. We're certain you'll love serving soup in this
hot pot. The lid has two handles and the side of the pot
has handles for ease of use. Made in Thailand.

Prik Pao for Tom Yum
The freshest and most delicious "Prik Pao" you will ever taste. This is
the "Yellow Label" that Mae Pranom makes for the local Thai market.
It's made specifically for Tom Yum Goong but we find it's great just
spooned over freshly steamed rice (then mixed to incorporate the prik
pao into all of the rice) or added when making fried rice. We like it as a
simple dip for fresh vegetables.
You get 32 oz of prik pao in each can, so this is a large quantity and
allows for generous use. On a perounce basis, this is less expensive
than our 8 oz jar of white label prik pao.
The top opens up like a paint can, just use the handle of a spoon to pry
it up. The Prik Pao is packed inside the can, in a modern, strong
plastic pouch (see picture below). Just open the pouch and pour it back
into the can for storage in your pantry.
Makes a fantastic gift for any Thai person you may know, as this is
very rare in USA aside from our shop. We've never seen it offered
before outside of Thailand.
Ingredients: sugar, salt, vegetable oil, onion, garlic, dried chilli, dried
shrimp, tamarind, shrimp paste. No preservatives. Made in Thailand.
Fresh Tom Yum Kit
At most morning markets in Thailand, and even in local
neighborhood 711 shops, a "Tom Yum Kit" is sold
containing a handful of lemongrass, galangal, chiles, lime
leaves, and if you're lucky a lime or two. Sold in a plastic
bag, ready to take home and cook up your own tom yum
soup.
We have a nice variety of excellent quality fresh Thai
herbs shipped to you via 23 Day Priority for a really great
price. This is a special kit just for tom yum, but you can
use these fresh ingredients for so many other Thai
recipes as well.
You get stalks of fresh lemongrass, a handful of fresh
Thai chiles, fresh lime leaves, a chunk of fresh galangal,
and three fresh limes. Click for details.

I love Thai food and I have long been a slave to the local Thai restaurants. Last
week, I discovered your website while looking for an Asian grocery store on the
west side of LA, thinking about attempting to make my favorite Thai soup. I
looked at your recipes and watched the street vendor videos. I looked at your
products and read the explanations about the uses of various Thai produce,
spices and condiments, which would otherwise have been a mystery to me. I
placed an order for produce and other ingredients last Wednesday, and
received my fresh produce two days later on Friday! I got my spices and
condiments on Monday, and today, Tuesday, I made this Tom Yum Goong
soup to rival the soup at my favorite Thai restaurant. To say that I am
impressed by your service is an understatement! You have made me very
happy! I will spread the good word to all my foodloving friends. Thank you.

Like many of you, I have had to go to a local Thai place to get this soup.
Thank goodness I found this site! I found the ingredients at a local Hartford
Asian market (taking pictures of the ingredients image worked well to show the
staff) and I made the soup this weekend. It was absolutely delicious! I am so
excited to have found this site. Terrific!!

Great recipe! Real thai ingredients is definitely key (galangal, lemongrass, kaffir
lime leaves, prik pao)
Always turns out just like my favorite Thai restaurant in Baltimore and the kind
we had in Thailand 5 stars.

Judging by the cups of stock I would say 4 mains or 6 entree size serves. To
make it more substantial I added bok choy and sliced carrots.

This soup tastes just heavenly. Best of all soups. Today is the first time I tried
it and it came out wonderfully delicious, just like restaurant style. Me and my
hubby really enjoyed our afternoon lunch of Tom Yum Soup. Thank you for the
recipe.
