Authentic Thai recipe for Spicy Chicken Soup

ต้มยำไก่ (Tom Yum Gai)

This step-by-step recipe and video lesson shows you how we make Tom Yum Gai to order at our restaurant. The recipe for Tom Yum, like many of our soups, has been perfected to create a perfect bowl of soup for just one or two people, the way it is sold here. You will never find a pot of Tom Yum sitting on a stove, as it always starts with fresh ingredients and ends as a deliciously spicy bowl of soup at your table in under 10 minutes.
