Directions
Tom Yum Kung, So easy to prepare. So good to eat. Thin sliced chicken can be subbed for the shrimp. Mushrooms may be omitted. You can add more vegetables like eggplant, celery, tomatoes, etc. Serve with rice or noodles. Any type of mushroom can be used in the recipe. This is an online recipe that I modified slightly., FYI…The freezer can be your best friend for the sometimes hard to find or limited shelf life fresh items that are particularly special for this recipe. use frozen chopped lemongrass these days because the shelf life of fresh is so short and also inconvenient to travel to specialty or ethnic stores when I need it. Recently bought frozen bag of about two cups for 1.99. Galangal has a special flavor and this is not too hard to find. Also available in frozen kryovac bags. Kaffir lime leaves, or wild lime leaf, is harder to come by even for me in NYC metro suburb. A few usual purveyors claim it is bought up by restaurants and such before they can purchase from importers. I purchased a few dozen leaves from a restaurant and froze as well. Some people try to support “lite” coconut milk. Forget buying it. Just take one half can of regular and add equal water and freeze rest for next time. Why pay full price for half can of product. I am told by specialty chef that is all it is anyway and I took his word for it but this is low in fat for soup anyway I don’t bother., What is mildy boiling? It is either boiling or it isn’t.
And it’s ‘galangal’.
