Tip:
– Tom Yum AKA Hot Spicy and Sour soup. It is an aromatic, fresh, and bold flavor. The original recipe uses Nam-Prik-Pao or Thai chili jam, but I use Panang paste as it is much easier to find in supermarkets.
-There is a very similar dish which is a Tom Kha Hed AKA Mushroom in Coconut Soup. It has much milder and creamier taste. Perfect for a beginner who would like to give Thai food a go.
