Easy Seafood Tom Yum Goong for Two Learn English While Cooking!

 

Actually I had never made Tom Yum Goong before, so I asked ChatGPT 3.5 for the recipe. 

First of all, there are the ingredients.

Frozen seafood 200g, Water 4 cups.

Sliced 4 shiitake mushrooms and 1 tomato.

2 lemongrasses, lightly crushed and cut into 3-4 pieces to fit in the pot.

A few kaffir leaves or coriander leaves.

30ml fish sauce or soy sauce.

60ml lemon juice.

Finely chop 1 red chili pepper, 1 clove of ginger, and 2 cloves of garlic.

Chili powder 5 milliliters and a pinch of salt.

Instructions

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Add lemongrass, ginger, garlic, Thai red chili, and shiitake mushrooms.

Once boiling, add the frozen seafood and cook until the seafood changes color.

Add the tomato and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.

Stir in fish sauce (or soy sauce), lemon juice, chili powder, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Finally, add kaffir lime leaves (or coriander leaves) and remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy!

I can't handle too much spice, so I used red capsicum instead of chili peppers.

I was skeptical about the Chatgpt 3.5 recipe this time, but it turned out to be a delicious Tom Yum Goong.

However, next time I make it, I would like to use only one lemongrass, pound it firmly with something like a hammer, and add more ingredients, such as seafood and shiitake mushrooms.

This dish features a flavorful and aromatic broth with seafood. If you enjoy a spicy and tangy flavor, be sure to give it a try!
