Hello everyone! For those who want to enjoy a spicy and sour soup with a nice tangy kick, I'd like to share how to prepare a spicy and sour shrimp Tom Yum soup.
Ingredients
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 1 liter chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 3 kaffir lime leaves
- Mushrooms and cherry tomatoes
- 14 shrimp (peeled)
- 1 green or red chili (thinly sliced)
- 8 tablespoons coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
Step-by-step instructions
1. Keep the top two-thirds of the lemongrass as it is, and thinly slice the remaining one-third.
2. Pour the chicken stock into a pot, add the lemongrass stalk, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
3. After 5 minutes, reduce the heat slightly. Add the garlic, chili powder, kaffir lime leaves, and thinly sliced mushrooms, then simmer for another 5 minutes.
4. Next, add the shrimp, chili, and cherry tomatoes, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat further, then add the coconut milk and fish sauce, and stir until well combined.
6. Once it comes to a boil, taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference for saltiness.
And there you have it — a delicious Tom Yum soup!
Those who enjoy noodles can also add noodles and cook them together in this soup.
