Tom Yum Gung!

The dish that I will be talking about in this entry is a traditional Thai soup called Tom Yum Gong! This soup is very famous even in overseas, and I believe a lot of people have tried this soup before in Thai restaurants all over the world! Though  it's a bit too spicy for me, I'm sure this is a favourite dish of a lot of spice-lovers!
Many people may think that this soup is really hard to cook, but actually it is not! The preperation details are shown below:

1. Prepare the chicken stock in a medium to large sized pot, and then bring to a boil.
2. Add the lime leaves and lemongrass stalks to the pot, and reduce the heat to simmering. Cook for five minutes.
3. Remove only the lemongrass, and turn the heat to high. Add in the shrimp, mushrooms, chili oil, and the Thai chilies. Boil until the shrimp are done (about 2 minutes)
4. Remove from stove, you're almost done!
5. Add in the fish sauce and limejuice, and stir. Some like it more sour, others more salty. You decide on what makes you happy.
6. The most important step!!! Enjoy!! :D

Looks delicious!
