Chef Tips

- Amasse levemente os talos de capim-limão com as costas da faca antes de picar para liberar mais essência no caldo. - Rasgue as folhas de limão kaffir com as mãos, retirando a nervura central mais amarga antes de levar à panela. - Acrescente umas gotas de suco de limão fresco e folhas de coentro no instante final para realçar notas cítricas.

Variations

- Tom Yum Gai (com frango): troque os camarões por peito de frango em cubos pequenos cozidos no caldo aromatizado. - Tom Yum cremoso: adicione meia xícara de leite de coco integral ao caldo para suavizar a pimenta e dar cremosidade. - Versão vegetariana: use caldo de legumes caseiro, cogumelos shimeji e shiitake com cubos de tofu firme no lugar do camarão.

Substitutions

- Shrimp: can be replaced by thin strips of chicken breast, squid rings, or cubes of firm white fish. - Kaffir lime leaves: use fine lemon zest or fresh washed lime leaves. - Tamarind paste: use diluted natural tamarind pulp or combine lemon juice with a pinch of brown sugar.

How to Store

Keep the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat over low heat just until it comes to a gentle simmer to avoid toughening the already cooked shrimp.

Can You Freeze It?

Não recomendamos congelar o prato finalizado com os camarões, pois os crustáceos perdem água e ficam fibrosos no degelo. Congele apenas a base do caldo aromatizado com as ervas por até 60 dias.

What to Serve With

Serve traditionally accompanied by a bowl of jasmine rice or fluffy steamed white rice to balance the seasoning. Iced lemongrass tea or sparkling mineral water pair perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the pieces of lemongrass and kaffir leaves be eaten?

No, in the Thai tradition, they are only used to perfume the broth and are left in the bowl when eating.

Como evitar que os camarões passem do ponto e fiquem duros?

Adicione os camarões somente na etapa final e retire a panela do fogo assim que mudarem da cor acinzentada para o tom rosado.

Can I use shrimp with shells in the preparation?

You can use whole shrimp with shells to enrich the broth, but cleaned shrimp make it much easier to eat with a spoon.

Como controlar o nível de picância do Tom Yum?

Retire completamente as sementes e as nervuras brancas da pimenta dedo-de-moça antes de picar ou use apenas metade da pimenta indicada.
