Notes
This can also be made using chicken, pork, fish, mixed seafood or tofu instead of prawns. If you use chicken or pork, the meat should be added before the mushrooms.
If you do not want it to be too spicy, use chilli paste instead of fresh chillies. The soup can be richer by adding ¼ cup of milk before serving. Tom Yam uses ingredients such as ginza, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves which are not meant to be eaten. If you want you can put these ingredients into a muslin bag which cooking and remove them before serving.
