Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

nralph83:Actually Tom Yum should not be sweet - its hot and sour not sweet and sour. But nice to know it can be varied into a good sweet and sour

Yum yum. I made this with chicken thighs, I used 5 small birds eye chillies, added extra lemon juice at the end. It was so good, definitely going to make this again. Numb lips and a runny nose, awesome
This recipe is amazing! I made the chicken version. I did add about 1 teaspoon tamarind paste and ened up using 2 limes (juiced) extra. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to be making this one again.
Delicious soup. I added some wontons, some udon noodles, shreded carrot and zucchini. I used chicken instead of prawns. I also added about a tablespoon of sweet soy. I reduced the lemon juice to 30ml. Lovely flavour and top marks from my husband.
Absolutely delicious! A firm favourite
Forgot to give it 5 stars
Great flavours however will use lots more chilli as not spicy enough. Added rice vermicelli to bowls at serving. If you do this I suggest you make double the amount of broth. This way it make a complete meal.
Very nice & super easy
A beautiful soup with definite authentic flavours! In saying that, next time I think I'll minimise the ginger - a ginger lover through and through, it's just a little too strong.
I also found I had to add 20g palm sugar to give it the sweet & sour taste.
This is my new fave! Love love love how tasty and delicious this is and that I can make this at home now and it is so quick and easy it's easier to make this than go order Thai takeout!! Thanks Tanya!!!
