Spicy Young Coconut Tomyam Prawn Recipe
I tried to use young coconut water to cook tomyam which resulted in a little unique sweet and sour tasting soup.
Ingredients
Young coconut, 1pc, drained and keeps the water. Keep the coconut to put in the Tomyam
Prawns, 150 gms, Cleaned, leave the shell on
Onion, 1 pc, cut into four.
Serai (lemongrass), 2 stalks, bashed
Tomato, 1 pc, cut into four pcs
Carrot, 1 pc, cut into round pieces or cubes
Oyster Mushroom, 10 pcs (approximately 100gms)
Nampla (fish sauce), 1 table spoon
Kaffir lime leaves, 10 pcs
Lime juice from 1 lime
Tamarind, 2 table spoon, mix with a little water to make a paste and separate the seeds
Chili paste or powder, 1 table spoon
Bird Eye Chili, 3 pcs, bashed
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil, 1 table spoon
Heat up wok and add in the vegetable oil. Put in the onions, chili paste and serai. Sautéed for a short while. Put in the coconut water and bring to a boil. Add in the carrot, kaffir lime leaves, bird eye chili and nampla. Add prawns, oyster mushroom, lime juice, tamarind paste juice, tomato and salt to taste. Boil for 1 minute.
Serve the tomyam in the coconut shell.
