My first dish is Tom Yum!!

Tom Yum is a famous Thai dish that is popular around the world. When people think about Thai food, they often think about Tom Yum first. Tom Yum is a soup that includes a variety of herbs and spices. You can also cook it with pork, chicken, beef and seafood. I also personally like Tom Yum very much <3 Now let's see how to cook Tom Yum!

Cut Lemongrass, Lime leaves, Galanga, Mushrooms, Meat(Pork,Chicken,Seafood, etc.), Chilli, Onion, Tomato and 2 Limes as the picture.

Prepare

4 table spoons of fish sauce
1 table spoon of Chilli Shrimp Paste

HOW TO COOK

1. Boil some water and put Lemongrass, Lime leaves and Galanga in the pot. If you want it spicy you can put chilli in the pot at the beginning.
2. Put meat and mushroom in the pot. Wait until they are almost cooked then put onion and tomato in the pot. You can also put chilli in this process if you don't want it too spicy.
3. Wait until everything is cooked and turn of the fire(heat). Put fish sauce, salt, lime juice, sugar and the Chilli Shrimp Paste in the put and mix them. You can also add more favor if you want it more sour, salty,sweet, or spicy.
