If you want to really experience the flavors of Thailand, look no further than Tom Yum Koong. This citrus shrimp soup is hearty, aromatic and perfect for cozy weekends at home. With layers of salty, sweet, spicy and sour flavors, this classic dish hits all the notes we love about Thai cuisine in a single bowl! This is a relatively easy dish to create, though it will still take some time to truly master. You’ll probably need to take a trip to your local Asian market to secure the ingredients, but the real test will be of your patience. The longer you let your soup simmer, the more refined the flavors will become, and the more authentic your experience will be.
