Pine Mushroom Challenge – Tom Yum Goong

Dish One, Tom Yum Goong.

What I used:

- Instant Tom Yum Paste (Yeah I cheated on this one)

- Fresh Lemon Grass

- Dried Black Fungus

- Fresh Green Prawns

- Fried Tofu

- Pine Mushrooms

- Coriander

The tom yum paste said one tablespoon per three cups of water, So I added three tablespoon for good measure. Boiled that, chucked in the green prawns. I use the green ones because they absorb the spices as they cook. After about a minute added the fungus, fried tofu and the lemon grass. About five minutes after that its ready to serve.

Served this one with the pine mushrooms on top with some coriander. The mushrooms tasted awesome after absorbing some of the tom yum spices.
