Tom Yam Noodle Soup

Tom Yam Noodle Soup

This is a noodle cuisine that we have not cooked in a fairly long while. I thought may be we should have something spicy last night. So, I decided to cook the tom Yam Noodle Soup after looking into the fridge. Besides that, when I check the fridge, I had all the right ingredients to cook the tom yam noodle soup. Cooking tom yam noodle soup was as easy as throwing everything into a pot of water and add the tom yam paste. And it normally takes less than thirty minutes to prepare and cook.

I started with a pot of water on a stove and bring it to boil. The first thing I did was to add the tom yam paste which can be in square cube form, powdered or paste. And I do not rely on a particular brand but usually use the heinze or ayam brand which are a little more handy. There come in a small box and the tom yam paste is in a square cube form. I just have to throw in a whole cube if serving four and for a thicker broth, just add more accordingly.

And for the rest, just be creative. There is a choice for seafood, meat, vegetarian or mix when it come to ingredients. At home, we prefer mix. So, we throw in shrimps, squids, chicken meat, pork, fish ball, squid balls, tofus and tofu puffs. For the vegetable ingredients, we select from yu choy, cabbage, carrot, potatoes, tomatoes, egg plant, napa cabbage, hard boil eggs, fried shallots, fresh shitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms. The more ingredients that is mixed in the soup the thinker the soup needs to be.
