Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare all the ingredients for making soup.
Step 2:
Pre-thawed shrimp clean: tear off the head, remove the shell with paws. Since the shrimp are small, the esophagus can not be removed.
Step 3:
Next, you need to prepare vegetables: diced onions, champignons – plates, garlic cloves – small slices, cherry tomatoes cut into 4 parts.
Step 4:
Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Fry onion cubes and cherry tomato slices in it lightly for 3 minutes.
Step 5:
After the time has elapsed, pour the contents of the pan with water and bring to a boil. When the water boils, add Tom Yam sauce to the broth and mix thoroughly.
Step 6:
Next, add chopped champignons and peeled shrimp to the pan. Continue cooking the soup until the mushrooms and shrimp are ready (about 4 minutes). Close the finished soup with a lid and set aside.
Step 7:
Next, you need to cook tempura shrimp. To do this, large shrimp must be cleaned: tear off the head, remove the shell with legs and be sure to remove the intestinal tract, which is located along the entire back of the shrimp.
Step 8:
Pat the peeled shrimp with paper towels, add a little salt and roll in flour.
Step 9:
Prepare the batter: using a fork, shake the chicken egg, add milk and beat a little more with a fork.
Step 10:
Prepared shrimp, holding by the tail, dip in batter, and then in flakes.
Step 11:
Then put the breaded shrimp in a deep fryer and fry on both sides until golden brown. Transfer the fried shrimp to a plate covered with paper towels. Thus, the excess oil will go away.
Step 12:
Wash the cilantro, dry it and chop it finely.
Step 13:
Pour the warm soup into deep plates, add a small amount of lime juice, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, put tempura shrimp on top.
I cook the soup thick enough, so I don't serve a bowl of rice with the soup. The Royal Lao version of Tom Yam suggests that rice is added directly to the soup itself. In modern cooking, there are a huge variety of options for making this soup. I cooked the most popular version of "Tom yam kung", that is, with shrimp. The soup is also prepared with fish (tom yam paa), chicken (tom yam guy), seafood: squid, shrimp, scallops, mussels (tom yam thale), shrimp with coconut milk (tom yam nam khon), and even pork knuckle (tom yam ka mu).
