How to Make Tom Yum Goong

Tom Yum Goong is a soup dish that originated from Southeast Asia. It is made with prawns along with herbs and different spices; it is distinguished by its hot and sour taste.
Thailand and Laos were said to be the starting places of this hot and sour soup dish; however, the version of both countries have noticeable differences in terms of ingredients and preparation method. What we have here is the Thai version.

Tom Yum Goongโ€™s closest Filipino soup dish counterpart is the Sinigang na Hipon. If you were to compare both dishes side by side, youโ€™ll notice that Tom Yum is a little sweeter and spicier. Also, each dish has different vegetable components and souring agents.
