"Tom Yang Kung(Goong)" "The Thai Traditional Soup" But, Already International Soup!!! By Antonio.

A subtle blend of hot and sour with citrus overtones, tom yam goong is the most famous of all Thai soups.

flavourful, spicy, sour and fragrant.

Tom yum or tom yam is the name for a spicy clear soup typical in Laos and Thailand. Tom yum is widely served in neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, and has been popularized around the world. It is listed at number 8 on World's 50 most delicious foods complied by CNN Go in 2011.

 

 The basic broth(;made in traditional method)  is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lime juice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers.

 

Commercial tom yum paste(;modern method) is made by crushing all the herb ingredients and stir frying in oil. Seasoning and other preservative ingredients are then added. The paste is bottled or packaged, and sold around the world. Tom yum flavored with the paste may have different characteristics from that made with fresh herb ingredients.
