Notes
Tom Yum Paste. If you can find a Thai brand for Tom Yum paste, it’d be ideal. If you are unable to, use whatever brand of the paste you can find, but play around with the amount of sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice a little bit towards the end to find just the right flavors for your taste buds!
Rice. You can use rice that is 2-3 days old but if you are unable, use fresh rice but be sure to let it sit and dry out on a plate for at least 30 minutes to let the moisture escape. You can prepare the other ingredients while this is going on.
Roasted meat. You only need a few oz of roasted meat. You can use dark or white meat for this and it’s ok to leave some of the skin on top if you like the skin. The skin adds extra flavor. Yum!
