Washing Instruction

Wash your hands, bean sprouts, and pak choi and tomatoes well. Rinse your coriander thoroughly and drain on paper towel. Brush your button mushrooms with a soft basting brush.

Gino's Tip

The best way to clean a whole head of pak choi is too pull the leaves with its base from the stem and then rinse in a bowl of water. Shred the leaves with its stem, as the stem is the best part, it has a juicy sweetness to it.

Step 1 - Ramen Noodles

Cook your ramen noodles in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 4-6 minutes until tender. Drain through a colander and set aside until later.

Step 2 - Tom Yum Soup

Heat a large casserole pan over medium-high heat, add a dash of olive oil and fry your bacon for 3-4 minutes until crisp. Now add your quartered button mushroom, shredded pak choi and cook for 2-3 minutes. Proceed to add your water, chicken stock, tom yum paste and coconut milk. Bring your liquid to the boil and lower your heat to a simmer, cook for 4-5 minutes. Remove your soup from the stove, mix in your bean sprouts, taste and season your soup with salt only.
