Vegetable Tom Yum Soup

ต้มยำ The most famous of all Thai dishes in the Western world! It’s also my son Benjamin’s absolute favourite. When we’ve traveled and not many Thai restaurants are in the area, he would order Tom Yum especially in Thailand. He loves it so much he would ask for his breakfast with jasmine rice. The soup base is made from lemongrass, coriander root, kaffir lime leaves, tamarind sauce and of course chillies (lots of them for those with Thai taste buds). We then add your choice of meat to our soup base, along with tomatoes, spring onion, fresh coriander mushroom and lime juice. The flavours to be expected from this dish are spicy, hot and sour and is recommended at medium spiced level.
