    What a brilliant recipe using store cupboard/freezer goodies. I used a tin of water chestnuts instead of fresh beansprouts. Also added some coriander which was in the fridge and a dash of thai fish sauce.

    This is somehow insulting since I'm Asian and this recipe is only 1% near to authentic Thai tomyum. Search for the original recipe instead. It will be good for the soul. Trust me. With winter approaching, tomyum is waaaay better than chicken soup.
