HOW TO MAKE: Tom yum soup with shrimp

[0987isabelle]

wron recipe... I'm a Thai

[Bubba2112]

@MeerkatG : Nope on neither one, but I'm not a DUMBASS either. I'm assuming you are the person who changed half the ingridients and then couldn't figure out why it didn't taste right. Do you substitute punkins for tomatoes and still call it tomato soup there Sport? Well I don't have any peanut butter so I'll throw in some cheese spread with this jelly and wonder why it tastes so strange. It's not MY fault nor is it arrogance that you are stupid, so don't get mad at me.

[ph0okyu]

you're awesome. 

[bamf1106]

panang curry! and does it matter what type of mushroom you use?

[Mbiquifriki]

An American explaining a Thai recipe with Dutch music playing ^ ^

[totchikits]

is this the most basic form of tom yum? what are the others? i really love this kind of food but kinda confused of the other versions.

[tinkerbell716]

great video! thanksss :)

[trucp225]

what brand of chick power did you use?

[gregyjones]

This is my favourite soup. Thanks for uploading :)

[bhupi80singh]

How can we make pad thai soup. Please post.

[thenookster]

@bhupi80singh

pad thai noodle it is so hard to make it, i, myself haven't mastered it yet :( which mean, i dont know how to make it.

sorry

[pacskin]

I'm eating some I bought from a restaurant right now.. I'm noticing that the broth has oil in it... is the oil from the bean oil sauce or the fish oil?

I have no experience with either type of oil...

I love the soup enough to try to learn how to make it

[BigMilt007]

I was having chicken noodle soup while watching this video. Enough to say I enjoyed my meal :)

[noelio67]

Ok...and what about Tom Yum paste??

[ahmadaz96001]

if it doesn't makes u cry when u eat it, it's not tom yam

[chaoticpicks]

Aside from the gaybo tune, this recipe sucks ass....

[thenookster]

@rtgfhe galanga yes, but not Ginger. This is Tom yum soup, not Sinigan, sorry i think you're talking about Tom kha soup.

Good luck.

Tom kha soup it's very similar to Tom yum soup but Tom kha has coco nut milk.

[brulee2345]

@thenookster Hey! I ejoyed this video, could you please tell me how to make Tom Yum Tofu soup? I get it at this thai restarant here in town and would love to know how to make it at home. He adds cilantro to his, it's sooooo good.

[thenookster]

@brulee2345

very same reciepe, but skip the shrimp and fish, sub. for tofu.

one trick is to add the tofu last, since is very delicate. good luck my friend :)

[maya011779]

thank you for sharing this. i have a few questions:

1. if i make this soup for let's say 3 people, do i need to triple everything?

2. can i use any fish, like dover sole?

3. what is chicken powder? can i use chicken broth? will it change the taste?

4. will red chilli peppers work instead of green ones?

thank you so much in advance!

hope to hear from you soon.

[thagodfather007]

what can i use as a substitute from soya bean oil sauce???

[longloststar]

Fish sauce works far better than any other sauce ^_^

PS. i'm wonder why "Tomyam Kung" need chicken powder?

[Jenelle38]

The song is Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx . . . you got it wrong on your status. But thanks for the tutorial! :)

[iloveisland79]

Yummy!!

[iloveisland79]

Nice..! Taraaa!!! I will try to cook tomyam tomorrow. ;)

[Fetalanie]

while i was viewing this,i also was taking note and drooling ...

thnx a lot ! ! now i know exactly how 2make tom yum soup^=^

[Bubba2112]

@MeerkatG: Are you kidding me? You left out the chicken stock, the fish, the fish sauce and the soy bean sauce and you DON'T KNOW WHY IT DOESN'T TASTE RIGHT?

just damn.

[bluefavorites]

LOL. I don't think this song is appropriate for a Tom Yum Soup tutorial....

[thaitowebsite]

I think you can make it in 3 mins, with this set, it so easy, in Thailand most of people like to do like this, Microwave 555 with the already TOM YUM

[GazeRock123]

Waiting for youuuuuuuuuuuuu haha.

[FunTrollin]

This person is a complete moron, no idea how to fucking cook, the shrimp is the last thing you add, otherwise they will over cook and that wont be too appetizing, you do however, add shrimp SHELLS, together with everything else, except the mushrooms, to be strained later, you want to also use the cilantro stems for this, add garlic and fresh ginger, real chicken stock makes a huge difference , use fucking lime juice, dont put in the whole lime or otherwise it will bitter the soup,

[EVixKiTTY]

:O GREAT JOB! x3

ive been wanting to learn this fora while now!

lol btw this is me and my dads fav song xD

[zZJoWuZz]

1:24 --> are those green onions?

[PirateKing1256]

My favourite thai food is this.

[roffy89]

wow amazing soup in the thai restaurants, the ones i normally have have tomato in them tho, but yours looks yum 2

[mazaza400]

Sinigang is the Philippine version of Tom Yum Goon

[jira12622]

[beetleorange05]

[heyhayvio]

i love Tom Yum soup, but how do u make it REALLy spice? do u just add more chilis when cooking it or put in the bowl?

[colorfulskykl]

@heyhayvio Either way will work. I add fresh chilis into the pot to enhance more flavor.

[sheryll16]

lol i do love ur instructions especially on the mushroom part hehehe. im from the philippines but i am very familiar with thai food. i do lve som tum too! also the fried crispy grasshopper.

[rufiooh01]

[Noy234]

This song is by Richard Marx song not Bryan Adams and it's entitled "Right Here Waiting". Nice soup by the way!!!

[dHeYzMaKu]

[worldmartini]

[golekk88]

[iwhar1]

Hi,

Can you demonstrate how to make a good Tom Kha soup with prawns plese? Thank you.

[lwdhw]

The song is ok, and the soup looks yummy.

[KhoalityNguyener]

lmao, Loving the song and the food! XD

[vadarfone]

Excellent video!

Tom Yung Kun is the best soup ever made

[watsakorn]

Waah!!! So hungry!

[trukkutru]

Music is perfect... i will fuck you now....

you had me at HOW TO MAKE: Tom Yum Soup!

[strongblackman]

ahah nice song

[thenookster]

soya bean sauce is good with and with out. and it can not be replace by soysauce.

once you add soysauce into tom yum, it will taste different...

fresh kaffir leaves works better than dry..

but dry will still work.

[thenookster]

Meerkatg

I usually cook for four or more people. If you're making just one bowl, use about 20 oz of water.(small pint glass is about 16oz)

Chicken powder is a must (asleast for me)

Chicken stock from American market can be subs for

chicken power, in fact it's slot easier.

If you're a vegeterian, make the broth from carrot and celery

Add a little bit of sugar to make it sweet.

Fish sauce is a must!

Do not use soysauce in this soup!

Soya bean...I'll be back I gotta get ready for work.

[SFan007]

hmmmm my favee nice video!! the music does sorta match its soothing..err..

[EstherBunniez]

I tried to purchase kaffir leaves at the asian markets and wasnt able to come across any. Where would I find these within the asian market? as well as galangal. People dont seem to under what they are haha. I used bay leaves and regular ginger you can find in asian stores and came out great. I am wondering if there is a different taste. Galangal seems to be popular in tom yum soup so i want it to taste authentic in flavor. Help me! haha

[brosbeenrandom]

rofl when i first got tom yum paste.. i thought that was all.. and im like.. that taste fuking like notihng... i have to add all this stuff.. i am ok ! lol

[dx316dx316]

First of all, I wish I was as good as Gordon Ramsay. That way I could lay a whooping on your ass so bad your mom couldn't tell the difference between that and your face.

Second, it's fine that people take their time and post wonderful videos online to share with the rest of the world. I get it. But it's like, what's that expression, oh yah, "the blind leading the blind".

If you're missing KEY ingredients to any recipe, expect a little constructive criticism.

[ThinkOneMore]

This is the most beautiful vegi/seafood love story I have ever seen. I cried so much that I missed the end. Did the shrimp stay with the mushroom or did he leave for his lost love the single blade of grass?

Just kidding .... great recipe.

[joshua61991]

when it says wash your hands she is not kidding, when i was younger i was chopping a jalipeno and rubbed my eye, the pain was extreme. now if a pansy-assed jali can do that imagine what an african birds eye or hobanero would do to you, habeneros are kinda hot for me, so in my eye would probably drop me to the ground.

[agirose]

YUM!! Thank you so much !! i can''t believe its so simple!!

[thiti1732]

i am from thailand and the soup u made is quite a different cause tom yam is from thailand. i usually cook with straw mushroom. but ur recipe is nice just weird when u add the spring onoin :P

[thenookster]

spring onions/green onions is my personal favorite. i usually added in every soup that i made.

[smeetarora]

the soup turned out to be super, god bless you!

[junash1]

Nice Recepie, i am new to the 'tom Yum' but cant get enough of it!

The sond is definitaly to serious!! Nice Work

[AndyRoddick969]

lame song. YUMMY SOUP !!! ZOMG ! im so hungry and my throat is all tingly from thinking about spicy soup!

[thenookster]

i know, i don't know what i was thinking..while making this vid on the photo maker..

thanks for your comment! :)

[tommynlucy]

hi, thenookster.

thank you for shear the recipe and video. i love to cook but however my husband is in love with this "TOM YUM SOUP". I been wondering how to make it so that i can learn how to make it at home when its a cold day or late night dinner. i would like to learn more thai food soup. if you have time please add me a friend on myspace. thank you..

[thenookster]

no problem! this is one of my favorite soup and the easiest too, you should make it, like tonight!

if you have no kaffir leaves or lemon grass, no problems, the soup will still taste the same, but just less herby-taste.

next time, when you do come across these two herbs, do buy them. You can save them for a long time. for kaffir leaves, put them in a zip lock and leave them in the freezer.

For lemon grass,cut off the top part (the long-dry grass looking?), and do the same.

glade to help! :)

[dx316dx316]

The soup will NOT taste the same without lemon grass or kaffir lime leaves. These herbs are a staple to the broth for this soup. If you can't distinctly tell the difference between a soup made with and without these herbs, you need to revisit Thai cooking.

Also, I recommend leaving out the chilli paste. Soup should not taste too oily and that's what adding chilli paste does. You already add fresh chillies and that should provide you with enough heat.

[thenookster]

Thanks for your comment and recemmedations.

First of all, kaffir leaves and lemon grass are not easy to find for some people, so I'm not just going to tell my viewers that they can't make this soup at all if they can't find those two herbs.

Secondly, I won't change a thing.

If you don't like this soup with the chilli paste, don't use it.

Have a nice day.

[binbinky78]

hi do you have a recipe for thai noodles with vegetables? thanks in advance

[thenookster]

which one? there are so many thai noodles with vegetables dishes...

pad thai? pad see ew? drunken noodles? glass noodles?

but what ever you have in mind, just google it.. if that doesn't help, tell me and i'll search it for you.

And i will try to make more videos about thai food.

have a good day!

[ka3nadj17]

this is my favorite thai dish! thanks!

[shadeofme12]

hello

is there any alternative to kaffir leaves?

[binbinky78]

i think if you try to make it w/o the kaffir leaves it won't taste the same as this is one of the key ingredients to the soup

[joejazzmaniac]

.. I love this menu and this video... but please don't put this music as back ground...it sounds really funny..nice traditional thai music would really make the atmosphere better... thanks for posting this video...

[thenookster]

hahaha, im glad someone finally! mention the bg song! i know, i hated too, but unfort. i don't want to delete this vid and make a new one, photo maker is a PAIN in the butt! hahaha (not my butt, !)

but thanks for your comment and concern. :)

[koricanprez]

Yummie! =)

[mohajer911]

does kaffir leaves and lemon grass comes in powder bottels? or dry ? we dont have it here :(

[thenookster]

i've never seen these two things in poweder form, but who knows.. is there any asian market out where you lived?

if you can't find the kaffir leaves or the lemon grass, you can still make the soup.

the leaves and the lemon grass just make the soup taste a little more herb-like.. ( i hope i don't confuse you :(

but yes, definitly you can still make tom yum soup with out these two things.

[binbinky78]

I know kaffir leaves (lime leaves) are available dry...I would try the latin supermarkets as well if not available fresh, which is the best option, see if they are available frozen...that's your next best option...if not dry will work ok

[thenookster]

binbinky78,

yes, i think dry, fresh or frozen will still work the same..

i freeze mind, after using couple of them. once i run them under warm water to wash them, its perfect as the day i bought them.

:)

so did you make the soup yet? since i reply so late, sorry*

[binbinky78]

hello,

yes, I have made tom yum soup twice now. I have received a lot of compliments on it too! thanks so much for the tips!

[Luciamonika]

i want to know every single ppl in the world and tell them to cook me all the food the know! [: lol

[ruthy37]

You are great, you know I pay so much to take my family to the thai restaurant just to eat this delicious soup?, now I can try to make it myself, I always wandered how to make it, and you put it so easy to follow, THANK YOU!!!!!

[thenookster]

you are welcome =)

i will try to make more vids of other thai food aswell.

good luck with it!

ask me anything if you need help.

[deejayengen]
