Tom Yum! Kai
2 cups chicken stock
3 cups water
6 kafir lime leaves
4 limes’ worth of juice
4 chopped up thai chiles
5 strips of chopped ginger
1 pound shrimp
1 stalk of lemongrass
1 can of straw mushrooms
bunch of cilantro
If you can’t find kafir lime leaves, the soup will never achieve the flavor of authentic Tom Yum, so they are very important.
Boil all the ingredients together except he shrimp. Chop the last third of the lemongrass into thin rounds before adding to the soup. I boiled everything for about 12 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Salt to taste. Finally, put in the shrimp and turn off the heat. Let stand for 5 more minutes, the shrimp will cook. Serve everything, warning people not to eat the lemongrass or lime leaves. Shred a handfull of cilantro just before serving and throw it in the soup. Eat!
