I am a big fan of Tom Yum soups, particularly ‘Tom Yum Goong’. I don’t cook it at home as I usually don’t have ingredients such as Lemongrass and Kaffir Lime Leaves. So it is a restaurant food for me, though I often find it too spicy. This is my recipe to make a similar soup using what I always have. And its flavour has been altered to suit my taste, and it is not too spicy. I add Harusame Noodles. The noodles suck up the delicious soup and they make this soup a filling meal.
