Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash and drain the crisp bean sprouts, fresh cherry tomatoes, and fragrant cilantro. The fresh cilantro is also great for garnish at the end.
Step 2
Rinse the seafood ingredients – shrimp, mussels, and squid – under cold water. Using fresh seafood will enhance the overall flavor of your Tom Yum Goong.
Step 3
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, then quickly rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. This step helps maintain their firm, chewy texture.
Step 4
To achieve the signature deep aroma of Tom Yum Goong, cut the lemongrass stalks into manageable pieces and simmer them in water to create a fragrant broth. Once the aroma is released, remove and discard the lemongrass.
Step 5
Add the Tom Yum Goong sauce and the prepared seafood to the simmering lemongrass broth and bring to a boil. Once the seafood starts to cook, add the washed bean sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and the cooked rice noodles, and simmer for a few more minutes. For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of chili powder to taste, completing your restaurant-quality Tom Yum Goong at home! Garnish with fresh cilantro for an added burst of fragrance.
