Hot & Sour Prawn Soup

“Tom Yum Goong” is Thailand’s best-known soup among foreign visitors. It’s famously both spicy and slightly sour and features a generous serving of prawns.

Steps:

1. Pour the coconut milk and water in a pot on high heat. Add the lemongrass, galangal and turmeric, and bring it up to boiling.
2. Add the prawns, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes. 
3. Add the kaffir lime leaf, and squeeze the lime juice into the pot before adding the roasted chili paste.
4. Turn off the heat. Add the coriander, green onions and then the soy sauce, starting with 1 teaspoon and adding a little bit more if needed.
