Soups
Tom Ka
Tum Yum
It's a central Thai soup that developed due to an abundance of
freshwater shrimp. Boiled in water as a soup, the shrimp gave the broth a real fishy flavor, so cooks started experimenting by adding local Thai herbs into the boiling water to balance the fishy flavor. The trio of herbs that worked so well to infuse the broth with a beautiful aroma were kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and galangal, which are still the three most important ingredients in any bowl of Tom Yum. |
Guay Teow (Pho)
Wonton Soup
A small nugget of seasoned meat filling was placed in the center of
the wrapper with chopsticks. We would dip them lightly into a small bowl of water and brush their tips around the filling on the borders of the wonton skin. With the radish soup we will be able to smell a great taste of the soaked wontons. |
