Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce and Fish Sauce season the broth of this easily prepared and fragrant soup. It’s a classic hot and sour soup that is one of Thailand’s most popular dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fish stock
- 1-3.5 oz package sliced shiitake mushrooms*
- 2 tablespoons Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
- 1 stalk lemon grass, bottom 4 inches (hit with rolling pin to release flavor)
- Peel of one lime or 3 kaffir lime leaves**
- 1 lb raw, unpeeled shrimp
- 4 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped (2 cups)
- 1 small green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt
- 4 scallions, sliced thinly
- Chopped cilantro
- *If shiitake mushrooms are unavailable substitute 8 oz sliced Portabello mushrooms.
- ** Kaffir lime leaves can be found in Asian grocery markets.
Directions
- Add stock, mushrooms, Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce, Fish Sauce, lemon grass and lime rind or kaffir lime leaves to soup pot. Bring to a boil.
- As soon as soup comes to a boil, add shrimp and simmer until shrimp is just cooked. Remove shrimp to a bowl, using a Chinese wire skimmer or slotted spoon. Cover and simmer soup for 10 minutes to flavor broth. While broth is simmering, peel shrimp and set aside.
- Add tomatoes, green pepper, lime juice and sugar. Simmer 3-4 minutes. Remove lemon grass and lime rind from soup. Salt to taste.
- Add reserved shrimp and scallions. Stir and remove from heat. Serve with chopped cilantro.
