It seems that i am obsessed again with Thai food. After spending an afternoon at a friend's place in the north of france, where she prepared a chicken tom yam using ready tom yam paste, which made me addicted after.
I went to Asian store today, and found out that the ready paste contains sodium glutamat, euh... i wonder that my friend's has the same chemical ingredients which caused me head over heels? Anyway, long time ago, i made this soup based on a Laotian cookbook. And before that, i also made my own version of this soup. Now it is time to search for a Thai version recipe then...alrightie.
Anyway, since the paste is MSG contained, which indirect/directly attacks my health i decided to make everything from scratch, including the nam prig prow paste, of course (click here for the recipe). It does not have the same taste as my friend's but it is not bad at all (i got addicted too, but i kept my head on my neck as the flavour is just natural, but very good). I learn that the spicier it gets the better it is, the more lemon juice and fish sauce you put, the merrier it gets, so be generous when adding the ingredients. I added galange roots, because i like the relish and i just bought them at the asian store :))
