This spicy and fragrant tom yum soup is bursting with aromatic flavours.

*Coriander is a shared ingredient. Use one third for this dish.

+If you have a gluten-free box, you have rice noodles instead of fresh noodles. Cook in boiling water for 4-5 minutes and serve immediately as they will get sticky.

Equipment

You’ll need two medium pots for this recipe.

Tips

  • Not adding salt to the onions allows them to retain their moisture and brown them faster, giving the soup more depth of flavour.
  • Cooling the noodles under cold water immediately after cooking stops them from sticking together.

 

Instructions

1

Top and tail the onion, then thinly slice.

Cut the tomato into wedges.

Slice the mushrooms.

Peel the carrot, then cut into thin half moons.

Cut the pak choi into 3 cm strips. Wash if necessary.

Top the turnips and cut into smaller pieces.

Remove the tofu from the pack and gently strain. Dice into rough cubes.

 

2

In a medium pot, sweat the onions in a little oil for 3 minutes, until just starting to brown. Add the water and tom yum paste.

Bring another medium pot of water to boil with a pinch of salt.

Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook as per packet instructions. If you’re on the gluten-free plan, follow the instructions above.

Once cooked, strain, and rinse under cold water.

 

3

Add the mushrooms, pak choi, tomato, turnip, carrot and tofu to the soup.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes on low heat until the vegetables are just cooked.

Add a little more water, if needed.

Roughly chop the coriander.

 

4

To finish, add the cooked noodles and coriander and heat through.
