Thai Tom Yam Paste 400g

Product Information

Tom yum soup (also known as tom yum goong) is believed to have originated in Central Thailand. It translates to English as tom (“to boil”) yum (“spicy and sour”), and goong (“prawns”). Galangal looks like ginger but has a distinct flavor. As such, you cannot substitute galangal with regular ginger (which can be disastrous). Galangal is quite hard and sometimes can be quite dirty (because it is a root vegetable). Wash them thoroughly and cut them into thin slices.
