WHAT IS TOM YUM? 

Tom Yum is a sour soup recipe with bold and delicious flavors from fresh Thai herbs and vegetables. The broth is infused with lemongrass, galangal kaffir lime leaves, and cilantro roots. The flavors are tamarind, fish sauce, and spicy chili paste, Nam Prik Pao. The vegetables used are typically tomatoes, shallot, and mushrooms. 

Tom Yum soups are typically known for using large shrimp in the dish, and it's called Tom Yum Goong, but like many Thai recipes, you can easily adapt your protein. You can use seafood combinations like fish, shrimp, scallops, squid, and mussels.

For my Tom Yum recipe, I use chicken, which in Thai is called ‘Tom Yum Gai, meaning chicken. Though uncommon, you can use beef, pork, or duck. Any protein option will work.
