Hello Everyone,

I thought I would give this thread a bump with my way of cooking this great soup.  I finally found the recipe for it, so here it goes....

The Ingredients:


16 oz (1 lb.) Medium sized shrimp/prawns with heads attatched(if possible), shelled and deveined(if you like), keep shells reserved (for broth flavoring)
6 cups water
3 medium tomatoes (cut in quarters)
4 garlic cloves (kratiem), minced, (or,a heaping 1/2 teaspoon.)
7-10 kaffir lime leaves (bai ma-good)
--
6 thin slices fresh or dried galangal (kha) not real thin, like this:

--
1/2 cup fish sauce (nam pla)
4 stalks lemon grass/citronella (ta-krai), lower 1/3 portion only, cut into 1-in (2.5-cm) lengths
4 shallots, sliced
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro/coriander leaves (bai pak chee)
1-2 cups(or 1 can) sliced or whole(your preference) straw mushrooms
7-10 Green Thai chili peppers, orange/reddish ones are good too (prik khee noo), skip this ingredient if you dont like the heat/spicyness
1/2 cup Lime juice, try a little less than 1/2 C. unless you like a strong lime flavoring
--
2 teaspoon black chili paste (nam prik pow)  For this recipe I used the one on the right, but either will work fine.)

--

--
Peeling and Cutting the lemon grass

notice the section my hand is on is the portion that we use, the rest is discarded

To start:

1.)  In a large pot add water and shrimp shells, dont forget them heads!!  Thats where the most flavoring is!!  Heat to a hard boil, then shut off heat, and let sit for 1 minute, get a transfer pot ready with a strainer and procede to strain the broth once the minute has passed, removing shells/heads/little shrimpy fingers.  :smile:

2.)  Next, take transfer pot with broth and return to heat(med low) add the main ingredients:  garlic, lime leaves, galangal, fish sauce, lemon grass and shallots,mushrooms and chili peppers (if using.) to the stock/broth.
*~note~* to properly release the lime flavors from the kaffir lime leaves, you must slit the leaves with a knife like so:

also, step 2 is where spicyness comes into factor, if you like this soup spicy(or the traditional way)  just follow the instructions.  If you dont like it too hot, add the chili peppers with the shrimp.  I like it hot so what I do is cut a couple thai chilis (not all of them!! unless you're hardcore :cool:) in half exposing the seeds and throw those in with the shrimp.  Cutting them obiously releases more spicyness than if not cut.

Cook this gently for 2- 2 1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally

3.)  now we add the shrimp, then turn the heat on high, and right before it starts to begin a hard boil, add the tomatoes.  shut heat off, and let rest for 1 minute.  remove from heat.


4.)  Now the most important part, The Nam prik Pow:
place the lime juice and black chili paste in a large serving bowl (big enough to serve all this soup in!!) and stir it until the paste has been broken up and equally distributed.  Add the soup broth to the nam prik pow and stir well.  Top with cilantro and serve.  Making sure to equally disperse the shrimp and mushrooms between servings.


You cant eat the lemon grass, lime leaf, or galangal (atleast I wouldn't try it).  remove or ignore them while eating, they are for flavoring only.

Enjoy!
:smile:
