Tom Yum Paste - 30 g
Tom Yum Paste is a pre-mixed spice paste used as a flavour base in the classic Thai Tom Yum soup. The product comes in a convenient single portion of 30 grams and contains a blend of dried and concentrated ingredients that together create the distinctive flavour characteristic of this popular Asian dish. The paste is composed of aromatic herbs and spices such as lemongrass, galangal, shallots, and garlic, combined with chili powder, tamarind, and citric acid, which create a complex flavour profile. The taste is spicy and sour with clear citrus notes from lime juice and lemongrass, as well as a slight sweetness from sugar and a deep umami from the flavour enhancer monosodium glutamate. The texture is paste-like and concentrated, making it easy to dose precisely as needed. To prepare, boil 480 ml of water, then add the contents of the packet directly to the water. Then add shrimp, mushrooms, or other meat as desired, and season with fish sauce, salt, or lime juice. The packet contains enough for two cups of soup, making it suitable for a quick weeknight meal or as a flavour component in larger dishes. The product contains no artificial colours and no preservatives, which is clearly stated on the packaging. The paste can also be used as a marinade or flavouring in stir-fries, making it a versatile kitchen tool. The small and compact packaging makes the product easy to store and use. Tom Yum Paste is aimed at anyone who wants to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home without using many individual ingredients. The product is suitable as an Asian soup paste, Thai spice paste, gluten-free flavour base, and a quick dinner with Asian inspiration.
