Ingredients

Scale

For the Broth

  • 2.5 cups Water (use filtered water for best taste)
  • 2 packs Tom Yum Instant Noodle Mama Brand (can substitute with preferred ramen)
  • 0.5 tablespoon Fish Sauce (soy sauce for vegetarian alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice (fresh lime is crucial for flavor)
  • 1 stalk Lemongrass, finely chopped (can be left out if unavailable)
  • 4–5 slices Galangal (can replace with ginger)
  • 2 leaves Kaffir Lime Leaves (substitute with lime zest if necessary)
  • 1 tablespoon Thai Chili Paste (adjust quantity to taste)
  • 1–4 Fresh Chilies (adds heat; use as desired)

For the Protein and Veggies

  • 10 pieces Shrimp, deveined (large shrimp such as black tiger or jumbo recommended)
  • 0.5–1 cup Oyster Mushrooms (can substitute with button mushrooms)

For the Creamy Element

  • 3 tablespoons Evaporated Milk (coconut milk as a suitable dairy-free substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon Evaporated Milk

Instructions

  1. Boil the Broth: In a large pot, bring 2 ½ cups of filtered water to a rapid boil.
  2. Add Seasonings: Add the seasoning sachet from the noodle packs, fish sauce, finely chopped lemongrass, galangal slices, kaffir lime leaves, Thai chili paste, and fresh chilies. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  3. Cook Shrimp and Mushrooms: Gently add the deveined shrimp and oyster mushrooms into the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
  4. Add Cream and Noodles: Pour in the evaporated milk, then add the instant noodles along with fresh lime juice. Stir gently to combine and continue cooking until the noodles are fully cooked, usually about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure to evenly distribute the shrimp and mushrooms. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro for added freshness and color.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh ingredients and adjust spice levels according to your preference.
  • Vegetarian option: Substitute fish sauce with soy sauce and shrimp with tofu or extra mushrooms.
  • To make it dairy-free, replace evaporated milk with coconut milk.
  • Galangal can be substituted with ginger if unavailable but will slightly alter the flavor profile.
  • Use fresh lime juice for authentic tanginess and brightness.
