Tom Yam Kung, Delicious

"I got this recipe from thaiwaysmagizine.com and that recipe is very good but I made some changes and I like my version more. If you like Tom Yam I recommend trying both. This is very easy to make. The hardest part might be finding the ingredients if you don’t have an oriental grocery store handy."

directions

  • For the lemongrass use only the solid portion and discard the woody grass part. With a heavy object bruise the sides, I use a meat tenderizer. Then cut into 2-3 inch sections. Take the lime leaves and make 3 to 5 slices in them from 3/4 of the way from the top of the leaf all the way down. Take a 12 inch square piece of cheese cloth and place the lemongrass, lime leaves and galangal in the center tie it shut with some string. This makes it much easier for when you eat, no suprises.
  • Add chicken broth fish sauce and cheese cloth bag into pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover the pot and add jalapeno's, sugar and chicken.
  • Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add chile paste,and mushrooms. Simmer for 2 more minutes. Add green onions and simmer 30 seconds.
  • Turn off the heat and add lime juice and garnish with cilantro.
  • Test for saltiness and sourness. If required, adjust with more fish sauce Salt) and lime or lemon juice (sour).Discard spice bag and enjoy.
