Tom yum kung, or Tom yum goong, (Thai: ต้มยำกุ้ง RTGS: tom yam kung) is the Thai spicy and sour shrimp soup—a variant of Tom yum, combined with many of Thailand's key herbal and seasoning ingredients, often served with a side of steamed rice, sometimes with a dollop of chili paste and a splash of lime juice, enhancing its spicy and tangy profile. Presently, there are two profiles of Tom yum kung recipes: Tom yum kung nam khon—a creamy broth with mellow and smooth flavor, and Tom yum kung nam sai—a clear broth with a stronger flavor.
