Spicy and sour squid soup that is easy to make at home. You only need the ingredients and it will be delicious.

Hello, my lovely friends. Today, I would like to invite you to make a fresh squid tom yum soup. After my daughter finished school, I drove past the market in the village and bought 1 kilogram of large, healthy squid for a low price of only 220 baht. I must say that it was very fresh. Once I had all the ingredients, I rushed back home to get started. The atmosphere in the kitchen while cooking was very fun. The aroma of the tom yum soup wafted throughout the house. The more I tasted the soup, the more delicious it became. The sour, spicy, and salty flavors made me want to ask for another bowl. Friends who like tom yum squid are sure to love this menu.

Ingredients and Ingredients

500 grams of fresh squid (cut into bite-sized pieces)
Mushrooms, as desired, 200 grams (e.g. oyster mushrooms, straw mushrooms, enoki mushrooms)

Tom Yum Ingredients

• 2 stalks of lemongrass (cut into sections)
• 2 galangal (sliced ​​into slices)
• 5-6 kaffir lime leaves (torn)
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of seasoning powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
• 1 liter of clean water
• 2 tablespoons of Tom Yum oil
• Coriander, as desired
• 5-6 coriander leaves
• 5-6 cloves of garlic
• 3 shallots
• 1 handful of basil leaves
• 1/2 onion
• Fresh chili, as desired
• 2 tomatoes
• 4-5 tablespoons of lime
• MSG (you can add it if you like or you can omit it if you like)

Let's start by preparing the squid. Clean and cut in half lengthwise. Use a sharp knife to make lengthwise cuts on the squid, making the cuts slightly deep in the squid meat in rows all over the squid. Then gently twist the squid so that the cuts spread out like pineapple eyes. Then wash the squid. You will get beautiful pineapple-branded squid, which will make the dish look more appealing. Then wash the lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, mint leaves, parsley, garlic, shallots, and fresh chilies. Slice the galangal into slices, cut the lemongrass into sections, and shred the kaffir lime leaves. For the mint leaves, use them for decoration. Cut the onions and tomatoes into pieces. Wash the parsley and cut into sections, set aside.

Let's prepare the ingredients together and go explore the garden together.

Before we start, let’s explore the garden behind the house. Before we start making the squid tom yum, I have to go find fresh galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves from the garden first. With the intention of getting the freshest ingredients, I walked around the garden with determination, wrapping my legs around the big, lush green stalks, full of young and old galangal leaves. The lemongrass is sprouting, so I can go cook. After I have collected the desired amount of galangal and lemongrass, it’s time to collect kaffir lime leaves, which are important ingredients that add fragrance to the tom yum. Let’s continue to collect mint and coriander leaves. When I have all the ingredients, I go to the kitchen. Cooking with my own ingredients makes me proud and happy. I also get to exercise and experience nature at the same time.

How to make it

Place a pot with about 1 liter of water on the stove. When the water boils, add the galangal and lemongrass and boil until cooked.

Next step, add the mushrooms and boil until the mushrooms are cooked and fragrant.

Season with fish sauce, sugar, seasoning powder, salt, and add fresh chili.

Add the squid. Add it gradually until it is all cooked. It is white and the soup is clear and has a fragrant herbal aroma. Boil the squid until it is cooked so that the meat is soft and bouncy, not hard.

Use low heat, add lime. Squeeze the lime slowly and taste until you get the taste you like. It's so delicious. The aroma of herbs wafts into your nose. The taste is well-rounded, sour, sweet, salty, and incredibly delicious.

Then add tomatoes, followed by onions. Add coriander, cilantro, lime leaves, and basil leaves for more flavor. Then use a spatula to mix everything together and turn off the stove. Taste and adjust the flavor as you like. You can increase or decrease the amount of seasonings as you like.

Scoop into a bowl and decorate with mint leaves, lime leaves, and coriander. Then pour in chili oil to add color and make it more appetizing. Ready to serve. My husband and daughter are waiting to try the squid tom yum menu. This menu is very delicious when sipping hot soup. I hope my friends like this menu. Eat with brown rice, it's delicious.
