About this dish

Tom yum kung, or Tom yum goong, is the Thai spicy and sour shrimp soup—a variant of Tom yum, combined with many of Thailand's key herbal and seasoning ingredients, often served with a side of steamed rice, sometimes with a dollop of chili paste and a splash of lime juice, enhancing its spicy and tangy profile. Presently, there are two profiles of Tom yum kung recipes: Tom yum kung nam khon—a creamy broth with mellow and smooth flavor, and Tom yum kung nam sai—a clear broth with a stronger flavor.
