\"Thai<\/a><\/p>\n

This style of soup has been a restaurant favourite of mine for years. There are so many variations on it, though they all have herbal complexity, sour citrus, chilli heat and salty umami. It’s basically a clear version of “tom yam” soup. When I roughed out the idea for this recipe and tested it, my mind was blown. For my tastes, this is the best thing I’ve cooked in quite some time.<\/p>\n

The best place to find ingredients like the lemon grass, lime leaves and galangal is an Asian market. Do not even think about slicing the galangal with a knife that is anything less than razor sharp. It’s quite woody and the chance of a dull knife slipping on it’s skin and cutting you is high.<\/p>\n

Time: 45 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n
