  • step 1

    Prepare the ingredients: Slice the shiitake mushrooms and fresh red chilli thinly. Chop the fresh coriander. Slice the galangal and lemongrass thinly. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

  • step 2

    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil per person over medium heat. Add the sliced galangal, lemongrass, and Tom Yum paste. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  • step 3

    Pour the chicken stock into the pot. For each stock cube used, combine with 450-500ml of boiling water and stir until dissolved. The total amount of chicken stock should be 300ml per person. Bring to a boil.

    Add the chicken breast pieces to the boiling broth and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the pieces.

  • step 5

    Incorporate the thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms into the soup and simmer for an additional 3 minutes.

  • step 6

    Stir in the fish sauce dressing to taste, then add the sliced fresh red chilli according to taste. Remove the soup from heat.

  • step 7

    Just before serving, mix in the chopped fresh coriander. Serve the soup hot.

I liked it however I could not finish it because it was very spicy and that is a personal issue.
