Thai Pride Tom Yum Paste is a concentrated seasoning that brings the bright, hot-and-sour flavors of traditional Thai tom yum to your kitchen. It blends the classic aromatics and spices associated with the dish—such as lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaf, chili, garlic and shallots—into an easy-to-use paste that creates a fragrant, zesty and slightly spicy broth. Designed for home cooks who want authentic Thai taste without lengthy prep, the paste adds depth and savory umami to soups, noodle dishes, marinades and stir-fries, and pairs well with proteins like shrimp, chicken, fish or tofu as well as vegetables and mushrooms.

To use, dissolve the paste into hot water or stock as a quick soup base or sauté it briefly in oil to release its aroma before adding liquid. A good starting ratio is about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of paste per 250 ml (1 cup) of water or stock depending on how intense you want the flavor; adjust to taste. After adding stock, simmer with your chosen protein and vegetables until cooked through, then finish with fresh lime juice and herbs if desired. The paste can also be mixed into marinades, tossed through stir-fries or blended into dipping sauces to impart classic tom yum character.
