Tom Yum Gai

I just love Thai food so I thought I would start with sharing my version of Tom Yum Gai. This is a “Hot & Sour Soup” as it is referred to by many. The nice thing about this soup is you can make it as Mild or as Spicy as you like. I I like to have it about a Medium Heat so this recipe is about a Medium Heat, if you like less heat remove some of the Chilies.

What I love so much about Thai food is that all the ingredients used are fresh and full of Aroma and Flavor. I try to use only the freshest ingredients whenever possible, it makes a huge difference in the final outcome of the dish whatever it may be. I ran out of time to make my own Chicken Stock but I highly recommend it if possible. The Stock I am using is pretty good and has only 1% Sodium. Below is the recipe with pictures to help along the way. I hope that you will enjoy this Recipe and I will have more Thai dishes in the future.
