Tom Yam
Tom Yam Soup
Tom yum is characterized by its distinct hot and sour flavors,
with fragrant herbs generously used. 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.
Tom yum is usually made with prawns (tom yum goong or tom yum
kung), chicken (tom yum kai), fish (tom yum pa in Lao and tom yum
pla in Thai), or mixed seafood (tom yum thale or tom yum po taek)
and mushrooms - usually straw
mushrooms or oyster
mushrooms. The soup is often topped with generous sprinkling
of fresh chopped cilantro (coriander leaves)
