Tom Yum Soup

Overview

The gas stove at home suddenly broke down, leaving only the electric pressure cooker for cooking. Cooking? I can't do it. I usually like to cook from side to side. Using all kinds of pots can highlight my superb cooking skills! This time I was really blinded. Suddenly I remembered the health pot that I have been using recently. Can you try making a soup? It just so happens that the ingredients for Tom Yum Goong soup at home are complete and the method is simple. Let me test it out as a guinea pig. The result is really amazing, I must like it!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare raw materials. Sea shrimp can also be replaced with prawns. The quantity depends on your appetite. I didn’t have green lemon at home, so I used lemon juice instead. I also used ordinary ginger instead of ginger. Don’t use coconut milk instead of coconut milk. Coconut milk is more fragrant and has no sweetness. Coconut milk has a strong sweetness. I don’t like the salty and sweet taste, so I bought a can of coconut milk with great persistence. The amount of coconut milk is not large, but it is indispensable for many desserts, so I don’t worry about not using up this big jar.

   

2. 2 Wash the shrimps, clams and straw mushrooms. Straw mushrooms need to be blanched in hot water. Set aside.

   

3. 3 Add 800ml to 1L water and bring to boil. After the water boils, put the ginger, lemongrass, bay leaves, and pepper into the pot and simmer as herbal tea. PS: For those who don’t have a pot, note the time: about 5 minutes.

   

4. 4 The health pot prompts that after the stew is completed, add the blanched straw mushrooms,

   

5. 5 Add tom yum paste and green lemon.

   

6. 6 Add 3 tablespoons of coconut milk and a little fish sauce. Just squeeze the juice from the green lemon. If you want to throw it into a pot and cook it, you must peel it, otherwise the soup will be extremely bitter! I once made delicious salmon soup into bitter fish soup, so I must remind everyone. If you use lemon juice directly, don’t worry. If you like sour taste, you can add more. Fish sauce is salty, so you don’t need to add salt if you add fish sauce.

   

7. 7 This next step is extremely important, so be sure to read it carefully. Press the herbal tea mode again and simmer for about 3 minutes, then add the shrimp and clams. Cook until the health pot prompts that it is done.
