Hello, My friends 🤗

For this post, I’ll be sharing the recipe and steps for making Tom yum with shrimp and chicken, a dish I regularly enjoy.

Tom yum is originally a traditional dish from Central Thailand, but over time, it has become popular across all regions. It’s a Thai food favorite, both domestically and internationally—especially Tom Yum Goong (spicy shrimp soup). The dish is primarily sour and spicy, with a hint of saltiness and sweetness, and it’s fragrant with aromatic herbs. It’s typically served with rice. Beyond its delicious taste, tom yum is also nutritious and offers health benefits.
