Tom
yum is one of Thailand's excellent delicacies. Not only it is famous in
Thailand, it is also well-known in restaurants from other countries as
well. Literally, the words "tom yum" are derived from two Tai words: "tom" and "yam". "Tom" refers to boiling process (soup, in this case). "Yam" refers to a kind of Lao and Thai spicy and sour salad.
Thus, "tom yum" is a Lao and Thai hot and sour soup. Indeed, tom yum is
characterised by its distinct hot and sour flavours, with fragrant
herbs generously used in the broth. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lime juice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers. The secret behind its excellent aroma are its excellent
ingredients. This clear soup, with sour taste is cooked with shrimps
(Goong), fragrant
lemon grass, fresh galangal root and kaffir lime leaf is simply amazing
and mouth-watery. For those whom may be allergic to seafood, you can
choose to use chicken or fish instead of shrimps. Try it and share the
experience!
