Steps for cooking Tom Yum Soup
Wash the prawns and fry them in a pan until they turn red, about 6-7 minutes, and set aside.
This is a set of ingredients for making Tom Yum Soup purchased on Taobao. I have tried it and found that the taste is very authentic, just like the one I had in Thailand. Boil a small pot of water, add a large spoonful of Tom Yum paste (the white box in the picture), kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, small red chili peppers (if you don’t like it spicy, you can omit them), sliced tomatoes, a few fresh shiitake mushrooms (or sliced button mushrooms, sliced oyster mushrooms are also fine), bring to a boil again, add clams and prawns, cook for 2-3 minutes, pour in coconut milk, and cook for another minute. After removing from heat, squeeze a few drops of lime juice for seasoning.
Done! Sour and spicy, perfect for this cool weather~
