Mixed Seafood Tom Yam Recipe

Mixed seafood tom yam is another dish I like very much. Now you know my favorites are those hot and sour types. Hehe..

Normally I will buy the tom yam paste from the supermarket, mixed the paste with the seafood and make them mixed seafood tom yam soup. This is my lazy way and it’s not good to do in this way.

If you want to taste the fresh and original tom yam soup, just follow the recipe below.
