in a multicooker
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. We'll make the most popular version of Thai shrimp soup "Tom Yum Goong" using a multicooker. The soup can be cooked with chicken or fish broth. Adding coconut milk to the soup is a European variation of this dish. The milk gives the soup a slightly sweet, creamy flavor, and its smooth, velvety texture softens the spicy heat. Serve with herbs and sour cream.

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for the soup. Shiitake mushrooms can be substituted with button mushrooms or oyster mushrooms. If using dried mushrooms, soak them in warm water for 2 hours, or overnight. To enhance the flavor, you can add galangal root, kaffir lime leaves, and lemongrass to the soup.

Step 2
First, peel the shrimp, removing the heads and shells. Don't forget to remove the intestinal vein. If you don't have ready-made chicken or fish broth, you can make broth from the shrimp shells and heads. After cooking, the broth should be strained.

To prevent the coconut milk from curdling, it is recommended to add these ingredients to the soup separately when using an acidic environment. In a bowl, mix the tom yum paste, tamarind paste, and lime juice, then dilute the mixture with hot shrimp broth.
