Tom Yum

0:01, Wednesday August 27th, 2003 • feeling thoughtful

I made Tom Yum soup. A spicy citrusy Thai soup. I made it with two recipes and some "innovation". It was good but I used chicken stock as the base which was OK except it was a bit greasy and a bit strongly flavoured. I also stuck too much lime juice into it, it came out with those flavours grossly blocking out most of the others. This is the usual outcome when I cook, it comes out brash and over-flavoured. I need to learn subtlety.
