Mae Ploy Tom Yum Paste, 1kg

Use this Mae Ploy paste to make the traditional Thai tom yum soup – a clear broth, usually made with shrimp, fish or mushrooms.

This tom yum paste is a blend of lemongrass, chilli, galangal, tamarind and kaffir lime peel, which together create the distinct hot, sour, sweet tom yum flavour. The shrimp paste and fish sauce add extra umami depth.

How to make Thai Tom Yum soup

Simply stir into boiling water to make an authentic tom yum soup base. Add your choice of seafood or vegetables then finish with a squeeze of fresh lime before serving.

Mae Ploy’s range includes Thai curry pastes, sauces and condiments. The name is inspired by a fictional character, created by Kukrit Pramoj – writer, scholar and Thailand’s prime minister in 1976. In his stories, Mae Ploy is a strong-minded guardian of Thai culture and heritage. An appropriate name for this authentic brand of Thai flavours!
