Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Seafood: You can use any seafood mix like shrimp, mussels, fillet, calamari, prawns, crab, shrimp, etc.
  • Rosdee seasoning: Rosdee is a popular Thai seasoning powder that acts as a flavor enhancer. It adds umami and a balanced savory taste to the soup. It kind of rounds out the flavors and was commonly used in the Thai restaurants I worked at. You can find this in any Asian supermarket. It acts similar to a stock or bouillon and comes in various flavors including chicken and pork. You can use chicken stock or bouillon if that's what you have on hand.
  • Thai chili paste
  • Tom yum paste
