Most people know Tom Yum Goong but a few know Tom Yum Noodles or ‘Guay Tiew Tom Yum’. Some dishes come and go but the noodles are as popular now as when I was a kid. The flavors are a combination of Chinese noodles with Thai flavors, similar to Pad Thai but different. Both share the key ingredients: ground peanuts, lime and chili powder.

Like Pad Thai, Tom Yum Noodles were never a haute cuisine but everyday lunch. You can walk into most Thai noodle shops and ask for Tom Yum Noodles. They’ll ask you for your choice of noodles; egg noodles (sen mi), small rice noodles (send lek), large rice noodles (sen yai) or rice vermicelli (mi kow). You also have a choice to have the soup or not.

There are 2 steps in making the noodle soup. First, you make the soup and let it simmer for 1 hour while you prep the noodles and the condiments. The second step is assembling the noodles, vegetable and condiments into a bowl.

4-6 Servings, Prep Time: 1 Hours, Total Time: 2 Hours

Tips and Techniques

  • Seasoning a bowl of noodles is a personal affair. Given a good base or broth, you tweak your noodles with condiments until you find the right spot. Some people love it extremely hot and some people have it the way it's served. 
  • Add the broth the last minute because the noodles will start absorbing the broth and get bigger. And eventually, all the broth will disappear.
  • Substitute cilantro stems for cilantro roots.

Pork Soup

4 Servings, Prep Time: 5 Minutes, Total Time: 1 Hours5 Minutes

Tips and Techniques

  • Keep the lid off the pot the whole time. This lets it simmer gently and you can see the progress. Hard boiling will make the soup cloudy.
  • Pork bones and daikon together form a natural MSG. You can taste the umami flavor of the broth after a long boiling period. If you want more flavors, add more bones, spareribs and pork ribs. This broth is perfect for a soup base.
  • You can substitute cilantro stems for cilantro roots.

Ground Dried Chili Pepper

10 Servings, Prep Time: 7 Minutes, Total Time: 7 Minutes

Tips and Techniques

  • The desired color is bright red or orange. The trick to get this color is to toast the peppers without burning them. If you go over the edge, burnt pepper will make the ground pepper dark.
  • Use dried Thai chili peppers for maximum heat.
