  1. Pour broth and coconut milk into a large saucepan and set over medium. Whisk in sugar and chili-garlic sauce. Add lime leaves. Cover and bring to a boil.
  2. Add chicken, mushrooms, tomato and shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 5 min. (If using enoki mushrooms, stir in with cilantro at the end of cooking.)

  1. the recipe seems to be missing ingredients that are talked about in the directions but that are not listed in the Ingredient List, such as the Tomatoe, Shrimp, Lime Juice and the Fish Sauce, no mention of qualtities.

  3. Absolutely delicious! Better than any Thai restaurant I've been to! Followed the recipe exactly as written in the magazine. I think good, spicy chili-garlic sauce is key.

  5. It did not turn as I expected, it was runny although I follow exact ingredient. I had this dish many times in a Thia restaurant and I love it. But this ingredients was not tasty/perfect Tom Yum Goong I have ever ate.

  7. I really enjoyed this recipe. I found the lime was a little too strong so I added another pinch of sugar. I doubled the amount of hot chili-garlic sauce because I like my dishes on the spicy side.

  8. I like thicker soups so I'll add either a handful of rice (add with the chicken) or rice noodles (at the end). You might need to add a bit more broth or water as this will thicken up.

  9. Has anyone tried this with light coconut milk?

  10. This recipe needs at least galangal and lemon grass, also tamarind paste.

  11. What did I do wrong? My soup is good but not the same colour as the picture. Mine was pale. Any suggestions?
