Hot & Sour Thai Soup

By kruaNOKnoi 

Nok recently started a small catering business with her husband Chuck in St. Paul, preparing authentic Thai dishes such as this Tom Yum Goong, a traditional recipe she grew up cooking in Thailand with her father. It’s easy to make, yet the flavors are deeply complex.
