Hello, dear readers of the blog https://dieta-pohudei.ru/!
Today we will tell you how to prepare the national Thai soup, tom yum, the recipe of which is simple, but requires the use of ingredients exotic for our latitudes.

Thai tom yum soup: recipe

Tom yum soup, the recipe for which is given below, is a hot and sour dish with fish, seafood, chicken or pork knuckle. Depending on the ingredients used, a qualifying word is added to the name of the dish: for example, “tom yum kung” is a soup with shrimp. Among Russian tourists in Thailand, Tom Yum “shrimp” soup is especially popular, the calorie content of which is very low.

We will prepare tom yum shrimp soup, the recipe of which involves the use of the following ingredients:

• Kaffir lime leaves - 10 pcs.
• Garlic - 6 teeth.
• Shrimp – 250 g
• Mushrooms* – 250 g
• Tomatoes - 2 pcs.
• Galangal (root) – 5 cm
• Lemongrass - 1 stem
• Hot chili pepper - 4 pcs.
• Onion - 1 pc.
• Water** - 0.5 l.
• Chili paste - a few tablespoons
• Sugar, salt*** - to taste
• Lime juice - to taste
• Green cilantro - for decoration
• Coconut milk**** - optional.

*There are several types of mushrooms that are used to prepare Thai tom yum soup - the recipe allows for the use of shiitake mushrooms, champignons or oyster mushrooms.

**Instead of water, you can use chicken broth to prepare tom yum soup according to the recipe. This will increase the calorie content of this dish when preparing tom yam , but will also make its taste better.

*** For a richer taste, salt is replaced with fish sauce.

**** Coconut milk, which is often added to tom yam, increases the calorie content of the dish, but somewhat softens its burning taste.

Finely chop the garlic, chili pepper and onion

• According to the recipe, cut the mushrooms and tomatoes needed for preparing Thai tom yum soup into large pieces.
• Coarsely chop the lemongrass and galangal (can be replaced with ginger).

How to cook a dish

First, boil water in a saucepan (its capacity should be at least two liters).

As soon as it boils, add the base for tom yum soup (it is a ready-made mixture of natural herbs and spices - galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime, ginger, etc.).

The lemongrass stalks indicated in the recipe do not need to be added - they are used only for decoration.

While the soup base is boiling in boiling water, prepare the other ingredients. Take shiitake mushrooms (classic recipe) or champignons (Russian version) and chop them.

Pour boiling water over them.

Defrost and clean the shrimp thoroughly under running water.

Cut palm or bamboo shoots into thin strips.

First add mushrooms and bamboo to a pot of boiling water. Next we send the shrimp. Boil for 3 minutes. Add fish sauce and sugar.

Mix the ingredients for the soup.

Stir until the granulated sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the fire. Add cilantro leaves and, if desired, coconut milk (the calorie content of tom yam will increase to 180 kcal).

How to cook tom yam

1. Peel the garlic and cut into slices. Wash the chili peppers, remove stems and seeds and cut into thin rings. Heat vegetable oil in a small frying pan. Add garlic and fry for a few seconds. Remove from pan with a spoon and set aside. Fry the chili rings in the same oil until they darken. Remove from the pan and dry on a paper towel. Remove the pan from the heat, but do not pour out the oil.

2.In a food processor or blender, grind the fried garlic and chili until smooth. Place in a pan with oil and fry for a few seconds.

3. Using a fine grater, remove the zest from the lemon, leaving the bitter white part on the fruit. Squeeze lemon juice into a cup. Peel the ginger and grate it on a fine grater. Add the zest, juice, ginger and sugar to the frying pan with the garlic and pepper, mix thoroughly and simmer over low heat until the mass becomes completely homogeneous.

This paste is the basis of “tom yam”, which is diluted with coconut milk or cream, as well as chicken or fish broth. In paste form in a sealed container, it can be stored in the refrigerator for several months.

4. Heat chicken broth in a saucepan. When it boils, add coconut milk or cream.

Yams as food.

Sweet yam
Even those varieties of “African potatoes” that are commonly eaten contain toxic substances that decompose at high temperatures. Therefore, yams are eaten only boiled or baked. In large quantities, such food can cause dizziness and vomiting. The use of Dioscorea tubers is contraindicated for a number of diseases (gastrointestinal ulcers, liver diseases: hepatitis, cholecystitis and cholelithiasis).

Tuber puree

From a gastronomic point of view, the tubers of this plant are very nutritious: they contain a huge amount of starch, are rich in B vitamins, vitamin E and minerals beneficial to health (iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, potassium, calcium, cadmium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus) . The energy value (calorie content) of yam is 2 times higher than the calorie content of potatoes (118-120 kcal per 100 grams of product).

Tom yum with shrimp

Tom yum with shrimp, chicken broth and coconut milk. In 100 gr. 40 kcal., USED 3.5/1.9/0.8. This is the national dish of Laos and Thailand. Common ingredients in this soup are: lemongrass or lemongrass (can substitute lime zest), kaffir lime leaves, galangal (a relative of ginger), hot peppers and Tom Yum paste. Now many large chain supermarkets sell special sets for tom yam and coconut milk. I love the subtle coconut creamy flavor of this soup. And to get this taste, you need to replace most of the chicken broth with coconut milk and heavy cream (25-35%). You can also add a level tablespoon of cane sugar or honey for sweetness. You can add squid and mussels with shrimp. Or use chicken instead of seafood.

What is prepared from yams:

Dishes made from yam tubers

• The tuber, chopped into pieces, is boiled for several hours and baked or fried with spices (in Asia it turns out to be a rather spicy snack);
• Dried tubers are ground into flour, from which flat cakes, pies, and porridges are prepared;
• Various drinks are prepared from the tubers (necessarily subjected to heat treatment);
• Sweet dishes (pieces of yam are baked with added sugar or molasses);
• Boiled tubers are marinated with spices and vinegar.

Almost all recipes use a tuber pre-boiled for one to two hours (depending on the variety).

For example, to prepare yam pancakes, boiled tubers are used, which are mashed to a puree, milk, egg, herbs and spices are added, and then fried in hot oil.

What kind of plant is Yam and what is it eaten with?

We give the answer to this question.

Yams in Asia

Yam (yam) is a type of “liana” of the genus Dioscorea growing in tropical and subtropical regions of the planet: China, Africa, Southeast Asia, Oceania, Malaysia, South America.

The largest yam plantations are in Africa.

Liana tubers

In total, about 500 million people around the world consume Dioscorea as a staple food. In African countries, the popularity of yams is comparable to the popularity of potatoes in Europe.

They eat yam tubers, which can reach several meters in length and weigh up to 70 kg. The average weight of a yam tuber ranges from 1-15 kg.

Yam cultivation

One of the advantages of cultivating this plant is that the tubers can be stored for a long time without losing their properties even at high ambient temperatures.

Most varieties of Dioscorea are poisonous, so tubers of only some varieties are eaten.
