HOT AND SOUR SHRIMP SOUP (TOM YUM KUNG)



Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup (Tom Yum Kung) image

Tom Yum is made so many different ways that no two batches are really ever alike. Simultaneously spicy, tart, and sweet, this soup grows on you the more you eat it. Try it along with rice to cut some of the heat, or eat it throughout a meal for a welcome contrast.

Spicy Couscous With Shrimp Chicken and Chorizo ..aka Yum! image

I just had to add this recipe! My husband and I love it and we absolutely cook it at least once a month..if not more! It can get kind of spicy so beware of how much spice you like and alter the amount! This recipe is based off of one I saw on the Rachael Ray talk show..but I never could find the actual recipe so its just what I can remember from some notes I jotted down!! ** I usually don't have the Saffron and this is just as great without it, so don't fret if you don't have that spice because its outrageously expensive!

THAI SHRIMP AND LEMONGRASS SOUP (TOM YUM SOUP)



Thai Shrimp and Lemongrass Soup (Tom Yum Soup) image

This is the best Tom Yum Soup recipe. To maximize the citrus flavor of the fresh lemongrass, crush the base and stem with the flat side of a chef's knife before slicing or before adding it to a recipe. If using larger pieces of lemongrass, remove them before serving.

Provided by Vickie Parks

Categories     Fish Soups

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
2 green serrano chilies, seeded and chopped
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 tsp peppercorns, coarsely ground
8 to 10 fresh shiitake mushrooms
3 lemongrass stalks
4 fresh galangal slices, each 1/4-inch thick
2 Tbsp peanut oil (or canola oil)
4 medium shallots, thinly sliced
8 c low-sodium chicken stock
1 1/2 tsp finely grated lime zest
1/4 c fish sauce
1/4 c fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp chopped palm sugar or brown sugar
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 c shredded fresh thai basil (for garnish)
1/4 c shredded fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. In a mortar, combine the garlic, chilies, cilantro stems and pepper, and grind together with a pestle until a thick paste forms, adding 1 Tbs. water if needed to facilitate grinding. Alternatively, combine all the ingredients in a mini food processor and process to a paste. Set the chili paste aside.
  • 2. Remove and discard the stems from the mushrooms. Thinly slice the caps. Trim and crush the lemongrass stalks. Smash the galangal slices with the side of a chef's knife.
  • 3. In a stockpot over high heat, warm the oil. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemongrass, galangal slices and shallots, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes more.
  • 4. Pour in the stock, add the lime zest and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in the chili paste and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fish sauce, lime juice and palm sugar and stir to mix well. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • 5. Just before serving, stir in the shrimp. As soon as they begin to turn color and are opaque, after about 3 minutes, remove the soup from the heat. Ladle the soup into individual bowls, garnish with the shredded basil and cilantro, and serve immediately.

JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE WHITE SAUCE - SHRIMP SAUCE - YUM YUM SAUCE - SAKURA SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Japanese Steakhouse White Sauce - Shrimp Sauce - Yum Yum Sauce - Sakura Sauce Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-4664

Number Of Ingredients 9

Japanese Steakhouse White Sauce - Chuck's Easy Recipe
1-1/4 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise *
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Using a fork or a whisk, blend all ingredients together thoroughly until well mixed and the sauce is smooth. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving. The sauce will NOT taste right if you don't let it sit overnight. And please don't try to substitute ketchup for the tomato paste! The water is needed to bring this to the right consistency. I don't know how long this keeps in the refrigerator; I've kept it 7-10 days, but I always wind up eating it all before 10 days so after that - anyone's guess. * Hellmann's is called "Best Foods" west of the Rockie Mountains. Use other mayos at your peril - many cheap brands make the sauce taste too much like mayo.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but panko will give the shrimp a crispier coating.
  • Be sure to coat the shrimp evenly in the flour mixture before dipping them in the eggs and breadcrumbs. This will help the coating stick.
  • When frying the shrimp, be sure to use a deep fryer or a large saucepan with plenty of oil. This will help the shrimp cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Yum Yum Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It is perfect for parties or potlucks, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. With its crispy coating and flavorful sauce, Yum Yum Shrimp is a dish that you will want to make again and again.
