Tom yum with beef

Thick tom yum soup with beef is not a traditional or authentic version of the dish, but rather an exception to the rule. However, even in this version, the culinary creation has many admirers. As an accompaniment to spicy dish rice is used roasted peanuts and sesame seeds.

Tom Yam and Thailand are synonymous. At least as soon as I stepped off the plane in Bangkok,
everyone just ate their baldness - have you tried Tom Yam?! Be sure to try it!!
Tom Yam comes in several variations - the most popular are Tom Yam Kung (Goong) - with shrimp, Tom Kha Gai (tom yam with chicken) and Tom Nam Pla (with fish) and you can even
make vegetarian Tom Yum soup without everything, just with vegetables.

Tom Yum Kung can be made with or without coconut milk. I like it with coconut milk, the taste is much softer and brighter with it.

Making Tom Yum Kung soup is easy and simple, even if you don’t have most of the ingredients, it doesn’t matter.
I will tell you how to prepare Tom Yum soup not only in the original, but also with those products that are on hand in Russia.
So, let's begin!

Tom Yum Kung soup with shrimp (tom yum goong) - step-by-step recipe with photos

I'm in Thailand now, so I have on hand the ingredients needed for Tom Yum soup, which are sold here in a set and are cheap, about 20-30 baht.

in addition to mushroom paste and milk - this is a set for tom yam in any Thai store - vegetables section

Even with them you can already prepare Tom Yum soup, but we will go further and add everything you need to make Tom Yum Kung with shrimp ( tom yum goong)
it turned out right, as needed.

I’ll tell you right away. I don’t claim the originality of the recipe, but Tom Yum tastes like my favorites Thai cafes- spicy and rich.

Tom Yum Kung soup with shrimp (tom yum goong) - what ingredients are needed?

2 chicken breasts for the broth(can be replaced with anything)
200-300 grams of shrimp(I take the peeled ones) - with what more shrimp, all the better.
Kaffir lime- leaves
Galanga- can be replaced with ginger
Schisandra - 3-4 stems
1 small hot pepper(you can do without it if you don’t like spicy food)
lime- 1 piece
2 tomatoes
mushrooms— the original contains shiitake, but you can replace it with any, even champignons (I had some king mushroom, similar to our white ones)
coconut milk(powder is possible)
fish sauce to taste (teaspoon)

Step one

Boil chicken broth.

I take 2 skinless chicken breasts. I cook for 30-40 minutes. We don't add salt.
Remove the breasts and set aside.

Step two

I cut the greens that I have:
kaffir lime leaves - it’s better to take 1 leaf, otherwise it will taste bitter. Then you can remove it from the soup.

I cut galanga, lemongrass (schisandra is similar to green onions, so only the white part is cut, like onions)
tomatoes, mushrooms, lime, pepper.

“About Schisandra” (chopped Schisandra roots boiled in water are an excellent tonic drink,
which helps increase blood pressure and relieve headaches, pain in the intestines and stomach due to gastritis, I drink it myself
all the time, I really like the smell)

We throw all this into the broth, put the soup on low heat, and cook.

Step three

Boil the shrimp separately. We throw them in with everything else in the soup.

Step four

The soup is almost ready, all that remains is to add Tom Yum paste (a teaspoon, less if possible)
stir, add salt to taste. add 1-2 teaspoons of fish sauce to taste.
Even in Russia it is cheap. You can replace it with soy, but add just a little bit.

If you have coconut milk in powder, you need to dilute it in a cup with cow's milk, previously warmed, but not boiled.
Add milk to the soup, but do not boil!!! Otherwise it will curl up.
I have liquid coconut milk, bought for 20 baht at the nearest 7 eleven.

You need 2-3 tablespoons of liquid milk per medium saucepan. Do not overdo it, the color of the soup should remain orange.

Stir, taste, mmm!! You can eat!

Now about how to cook Tom Yum Kung Soup with shrimp (tom yum goong) - in Russian conditions, when
There is no trace of such delights as kaffir lime.

Of course, to make Tom Yum Kung soup, and not just soup, you need to have at least Tom Yum paste or
powder - seasoning for Tom Yam. They are sold in stores selling Japanese goods or order them for those traveling to Thailand.
If you don’t have any of this, and you desperately want Tom Yum, you can prepare the paste by mixing finely chopped chili with ketchup.
Of course it won't be exactly the same, but it will be similar. Replace the kaffir lime with regular lime zest.

Pasta in Thailand is cheap.

Family Mart sells Tom Yam paste in bags and costs 17 baht.

There are a great variety of such pastes, I like mine better, which is in the picture, I bought it at the central festival department store, no more than 30 baht.
Usually, such pastas either show soup or say, at a minimum, Tom Yam Pasta

So, let's imagine that you have pasta.
Then you only add pasta + tomatoes + coconut milk + mushrooms and shrimp. It turns out no worse.

If you don't have shrimp, add chicken and you will get tom kha gai soup. Which is also very tasty!

Be careful with pasta. it is VERY spicy. So sometimes even a teaspoon is too much.

What other versions of Tom Yum soup have I come across here?
Tom Yam soup from the “homeless package” in ours, doshirak, in Thai from the company - mom :))
By the way, absolutely edible.

And already ready Tom Yam in bags of 200 and 400 ml. A poison that is impossible to eat.
Being in Thailand, it makes no sense to buy such a soup, because a normal soup is cooked in 40-50 minutes maximum, and if
you have ready broth, generally in 10-20 minutes.

For those nostalgic for Thailand - bon appetit!
