Tum Yum Kung Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Tum Yum Kung

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and bird's eye chili. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add the Vegetables and Shrimp

    Add the sliced mushrooms and large shrimp to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and mushrooms are tender.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve the Tum Yum Kung in a large bowl alongside a generous portion of jasmine rice.
