🥢 Step-by-Step: How to Make Tom Yum Noodles Like a Pro!
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Broth:
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (or a mix of both)

2 stalks lemongrass (bruised and cut into pieces)

4-5 kaffir lime leaves (torn into pieces)

4-6 Thai bird’s eye chilies (smashed for spice)

1-2 slices galangal (or ginger if you can’t find galangal)

3 tbsp fish sauce (for that signature umami flavor)

2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed for that tangy zing)

1-2 tbsp sugar (to balance the sourness)

2-3 tbsp tamarind paste (for depth of flavor)

1-2 tbsp chili paste or Thai chili oil (for extra heat and flavor)

For the Noodles & Protein:
200g rice noodles (or egg noodles, depending on preference)

200g shrimp (peeled and deveined) or 200g sliced pork or chicken

1 cup mushrooms (straw mushrooms are traditional, but you can use any type)

2-3 tomatoes (cut into wedges)

1/2 small onion (thinly sliced)

2-3 Thai bird’s eye chilies (optional for extra heat)

1 handful fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

1 lime (cut into wedges for serving)

🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Broth – The Heart of Tom Yum Soup
1️⃣ In a large pot, combine your chicken or vegetable broth with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal (or ginger), and smashed bird’s eye chilies.
2️⃣ Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow all those fragrant herbs to infuse the broth.
3️⃣ After simmering, remove the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. You want the flavors but not the chunks!
4️⃣ Add the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, tamarind paste, and chili paste to the broth. Stir everything well. Taste and adjust to your liking: you may want to add more lime for sourness or more fish sauce for saltiness.

🔥 Step 2: Cook the Noodles & Protein
1️⃣ Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ In the same pot or a separate pan, add the shrimp (or your chosen protein) to the simmering broth. If you’re using pork or chicken, simmer them until they’re fully cooked, around 5-7 minutes.
3️⃣ Add the mushrooms and tomatoes to the broth, letting them cook for a few more minutes until tender.
4️⃣ Once the protein is cooked through and the broth is flavorful, taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce, lime juice, or chili paste as needed.

🔥 Step 3: Assemble the Noodles Soup
1️⃣ Place a handful of cooked noodles in each bowl.
2️⃣ Ladle the hot Tom Yum broth with shrimp, mushrooms, and tomatoes over the noodles.
3️⃣ Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and optional extra chilies for a fiery kick.
4️⃣ Serve with lime wedges on the side so you can squeeze more fresh lime juice for an extra tang!
