The expiry date printed on the tom yam paste bottle in my fridge is almost due, so I need to start using it before it expires. I did a quick check and I found prawns in the freezer. I also found most of the ingredients needed to cook tom yam soup in the house or in the garden.
Ingredients for tom yam soup:
Tom yam paste, galangal, lemon grass, onions, garlic, kaffir leaves, lime juice, chilies, tomatoes, fish sauce, coconut milk, fresh abalone mushrooms, and prawns.
Blanched pre-soaked rice vermicelli.
Appetizing tom yam with prawns + noodle for dinner.
Simple dinner for 2 people.
We had double helpings of the tom yam + noodle.
Kept the remaining tom yam soup for next day's lunch.
~~~~~
Took snapshots of the following critters on our morning walk.
Initially there were 2 hens and 1 rooster on the concrete wall.
As we walked nearer, 1 hen jumped off the wall.
Followed by another hen and left the rooster on the wall. He turned to face us and probably not happy with us for scaring off his girlfriends.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
For he himself is our peace,
who has made the two groups one
and has destroyed the barrier,
the dividing wall of hostility.
(Ephesians 2:14, New International Version-NIV)

DeleteI did'nt hear this meal 😊 thanks for your sharing Nancy 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great day.
DeleteNice soup and noodles and the rooster I love
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nassah.
DeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteThank you, RR.
DeleteI prefer to see the end result of the cooking, rather than having to see how to cook it even looks like the chicken is still alive hehhe
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteVery appetising soup and I love the prawns. It is a wonder you both didn't go for triple servings as I may do that. I am amazed that no cats went after the chickens. Do you know which house the chickens belong to?
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't cook the noodles, then we will probably go for triple helpings. I think the rooster is capable at protecting the family from the cats.
DeleteThe soup looks delicious. And wow, LOVE that picture of the rooster...where he is alone. He is a handsome boy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. The hens flew down from the wall and the rooster was left alone.
DeleteFor a non-Asian kitchen, that would be a very challenging recipe. In my pantry I have virtually none of the ingredients. And fresh abalone is completely impossible anywhere in the US as it’s been fished out and is protected. Your soup looks wonderful and very exotic.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you, Mae. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteYour soup looks amazing and that colorful rooster is just gorgeous!! Have a great weekend Nancy :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha. Have a great weekend too.
DeleteGreat dinner! Love the rooster and his girlfriends.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteWOW! Cool dishes!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Victoria.
DeleteTasty food, testy rooster!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yogi.
DeleteIt's so nice when you think of something you want to cook and find you have what you need, no trip to the store or market needed.
ReplyDeleteIt is also good to clear the fridge of the little bits of this and that.
DeleteI bet the combination of lemon grass, kaffir leaves, and coconut soup give the soup a delightful flavor.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy :) Those roosters are so cool! I love them and their colours! Oh that soup looks so yummy. I love all of those ingredients! :) I'm such a foodie, I will have to try this out!
