This Tom Yum soup has a great blend of sour and salty (and a little heat). If you can‚‘t find the Kaffir lime leaves, you can get them from amazon. Using tofu in this one but shrimp is most common.

Ingredients

6 cups broth
2 cups water
2 stalks of lemongrass
1 inch chunk of galangal or ginger peels and sliced
10 kaffir lime leaves Coarsely torn to help release the flavor
6 Thai chilies depending on your heat tolerance. sliced in half or crushed with the side of your knife
5 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
1lb shrimp or any protein you prefer (14oz tofu cubed)
2 cups oyster mushrooms
2 roma tomatoes chopped into wedges
1 medium white onion chopped into wedges
2 teaspoons sugar
4-6 tablespoons of fish sauce (depending on your taste)
4-6 tablespoons of lime juice (depending on your taste)
1 cup cilantro

Directions

Cut off the end of the lemongrass then lightly pound to release the flavors (using the back of a chefs knife or a mallet). Slice diagonally into 1 inch strips.
In a large stock pot bring the broth and water to a boil.
Add lemongrass, galangal (ginger), kaffir lime leaves, garlic and chilies. Cover to release all the herb flavors quicker. Boil for 10 minutes.
Add the shrimp (or whatever protein you choose) and reduce heat to low.
Add your mushrooms, tomatoes, and onion.
Boil the tom yum for about 2 - 3 minutes.
Add about 4 tablespoons of fish sauce at first, and 2 teaspoons of sugar (Add more to taste). Continue to boil for 2 minutes then turn off the heat. The mushrooms and onions should be soft.
With the heat off add about 4 tablespoons of lime juice to start with.
Taste for sour and saltiness, (if desired) add more fish sauce, sugar, or lime juice.
Add half of the fresh cilantro. Serve in bowls and garnish with more cilantro, lime wedge, and green onion.
