Tom Yam Gai or Goong
is the name
for soups originating from Laos and Thailand.
Lao tom yum is relatively unknown
outside of Laos, whereas Thai tom yam is perhaps one of the most famous dishes
in Thai cuisine. It is widely served in
neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, and has been
popularized around the world.
Tom yam is
characterized by its distinct hot and sour flavors, with fragrant herbs
generously used. The basic broth is made of stock and fresh ingredients such as
lemon grass, lime leaves, galangal, lime
juice, fish sauce and crushed chili peppers.
Tom yum is usually made with prawns (tom yam goong), chicken (tom
yam gai), fish (tom yum pla), or mixed seafood and mushrooms.
The soup is often topped with generous sprinkling of fresh coriander
(cilantro) leaves.
