I love tom yum goong!

But I think 3-4 cups of mushrooms is way too much. For 3 cups of soup 4 or 5 quartered buttom mushrooms is enough for me.

Also, I simmer bruised lemongrass, the kaffir lime leaves, a little galangal or giner and a clove or two of garlic in the liquid for a while and then remove them, bring the liquid to a boil, add the shrimp and mushrooms and take off the heat. I hate my soup to have all that inedible stuff in it.

I love Thai food. And I'm surprised at how few blogs & other web resources (and even cookbooks) are out there. Thanks for the post. I hope you have more in the future.
