For those who prefer a vegetarian option, this Tom Yum recipe is a great choice. Instead of shrimp, this version uses tofu as the main protein source. The rest of the ingredients remain the same, including lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, mushrooms, and Thai chili peppers. To make the vegetarian Tom Yum, start by preparing the broth in the same way as the classic recipe. Once the broth is ready, add the tofu and mushrooms. Let it simmer until the tofu is heated through and the mushrooms are tender. Season the soup with fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar to taste. Serve hot and garnish with fresh cilantro. This vegetarian version of Tom Yum Goong is just as flavorful and satisfying as the original. The tofu adds a nice texture to the soup, and the combination of herbs and spices creates a delicious broth. It is a great option for those who want to enjoy the taste of Tom Yum without the seafood.
