Maesri Tom Yum Paste - Authentic Thai Soup Base - Hot & Sour, 14 Ounce

This Maesri Tom Yum paste is sooo good and takes the place of going to the Asian store for ALL the necessary, unusual items needed for Tom Yum soup! I was truly surprised how GOOD and AUTHENTIC the paste was..and EASY! You add as much as you like and then freeze the remainder in its container. Delicious! Good as a rub on chicken, sea food, beef and pork.

I love Tom Yum soup. This was recommended by friend and it's the bomb. Simple. Add water and some evaporated milk. Add veggies. Add shrimp (if you want). Great flavor... spicy flavors, but not mouth-melting.

Delicious but too spicy. The soup turned out very tasty.

Tom Yum and Tom Kha are my favorite soups in the world, but they are notoriously difficult to make well at home. Enter Maesri Tom Yum Paste. I admit I was a little skeptical about this. I LOVE all of Maesri's curry pastes, but this looked like it might just be a green curry paste with a different label...nope. It has significant difference in flavor that make for a perfect Tom Yum soup. Served at a dinner party and everyone was amazed. I felt like one of those folks on old commercials that had a "secret" ingredient. Folks even wanted to take home the leftovers. One caution. It takes a whole tub of this stuff to make a gallon of soup, and you are going to want a gallon of it once it's made, so you might want to buy a couple at a time.

Fantastic, spicy, flavorful, and consistent quality. I have purchased it three times so far. Lasts a long time. A little goes a long way. If you use too much it is too spicy hot. I add a little citric acid to it to get a tangy zip into it as well. Totally addicting in my ramen soup with eggs and chives.

Since my family likes having hot pot, I decided to buy the supplies to do it at home. Of all the bases I have tried this one was by far the best and full of flavor. It does suggest that you add evaporated milk as a heads up so that way, if you try it, you have everything you need. But it complemented the taste of the meat that was added and noodles. And it was not real spicy.

Horrible flavor, doesn’t taste like any to. Yum I’ve ever had. Would not buy this! Very spicy, only taste spice nothing else, no flavor

I wanted asian soup base to add to rice, this was not it, tried it just to ad to cup of bone broth not the taste I was looking for. It comes in a plastic bag stuffed inside the container something else I did not like, hard to spoon out if you don't want to use hole bag. Taste is mostly hot oil overpowers all the other flavors.
