Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 47m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ounce dried wood ear mushrooms (also called tree ears or black fungus, optional)
7 ounces soft tofu
4 cups water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
5 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 tablespoon hot chili sauce (sambal oelek)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup bamboo shoot
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
2 egg yolks
1 strip red pepper
fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Soak the wood ears in warm water for 20-30 minutes until they swell up and become soft.
  • Rinse under cold water, and cut into thin ribons, discarding any hard centers; set aside.
  • Slice tofu into long thin strips; set aside.
  • Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a soup pot; add the soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, sugar, vinegar, sambal oelek, and salt and stir to blend.
  • Lower heat to medium and cook for several minutes.
  • Add the bamboo shoots and cook for a minute before adding the wood ears, the tofu, and the sesame oil.
  • Cook the soup for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch which should be dissolved in the 1 tablespoonful of water.
  • Beat the egg yolks lightly and slide into the soup; turn off the heat and DO NOT STIR.
  • The egg will cook into the hot soup and stay in pieces (if you stir it will shrivel).
  • Pour soup into serving bowls and garnish with strips of red pepper and cilantro leaves.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fresh ingredients to create a flavorful and aromatic broth. Lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and Thai chilies are all essential ingredients.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness of the soup to your liking. If you want a milder soup, use fewer Thai chilies. If you want a spicier soup, add more chilies.
  • Be sure to use a good quality fish sauce. This will add a lot of flavor to the soup.
  • If you don't have any shrimp paste, you can use a small amount of anchovy paste or Worcestershire sauce as a substitute.
  • Serve the soup immediately with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Tom Yum soup is a delicious and flavorful soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp or chicken. If you are looking for a new and exciting soup recipe, be sure to give Tom Yum soup a try.
