Can you please tell me where you buy the Tom Yum paste? A website or a store name would be great. Looking forward to making my own soup :)

[…] It took me quite a bit of effort to get all these ingredients together and I was worried that I would not be able to finish using them. However, my fears were allayed when I found another recipe - Tom Yum Soup - which used similar ingredients like galangal, fish sauce, shallot and tom yum paste. *phew!* […]

Looks like I can do this dish without the kaffir leaves too! I bought lemongrass from that section but did not see any galangal…*blur sotong, me* Your tom yum soup has no sotong coz I think the sotong is me….woohoo….

Some additional notes for Tiga!
Most of the Tom Yum Soup recipes also put 2-3 kaffir lime leaves but I couldn’t find that, so I omitted that because in the Tom Yum Paste list of ingredients, kaffir lime leaves was one of the ingredients.

Lime juice I used 3 packets of extra lime juice I had from the Prima taste premixes.

I didn’t add Bird’s eye chillies cos that’ll be too spicy for “the other one in the house” :)

And I used shitake mushrooms cos I had dried ones in the pantry. Most Tom Yum Soup recipes use straw mushrooms.

Hope that helps!

Hi Ernie, Thanks for visiting! I may make the spring rolls from the thaifoodtonight site. I was looking for the tapioca dessert recipe (which has a little drizzle of coconut milk) but it isn’t there.

Sue - If I add noodles, it will look like one of those spicy Korean Ramen Noodles with Kimchi! Spicy!!

RM - Not me la… this one was made for ‘the other one in my house’, as what Tiga would say.

Tiga! I bought Tom Yum Paste, Lee Brand (blue cap), Instant Hot and Sour Paste - $1.39. I found it in the aisle with the Glory sambal belachan (somewhere there). Galangal is found near the mung bean sprouts / lemongrass section. Even the smallest piece was a big piece, you can make several servings of Otak Otak and Tom Yum Soup!
