Tom yum kung (Thai sour and spicy shrimp soup)

          Kung, Koong, Goong or what ever :) means Shrimp - - - Tom yum has many style to make, it's up to how style you like, some add tomatoes some add dried chili. So today I'll show you how to make condensed soup style. 

          Left picture is evaporated milk that I've been use in Stir fried crab in curry powder. I add it in soup, anyway if you can't find that milk you can also add whole milk, or cream but less than my measure :) In Thailand this milk very popular, we use in bakery as a milk substitute because milk is more expensive and this will give better texture (maybe) for cake and other dessert. In almost cake for commercial use this milk for sure. I hope you can find this in your nearby store :)
          If you do like clear soup, just skip the milk and follow all step in my video.

          Right picture is a galangal ro somebody known it as a Thai ginger. The color and flavor are exactly difference :) You can't use ginger to substitute galangal < Seriously! :D and again I hope you can find this in your nearby, asian or online market :'(

You will need : 1-2 serving
